Update: I've done a more comprehensive test now, and it turns out that 
about half the admin tools that need passwords open with a normal modal 
password window, while others have the password area that blocks the 
whole screen. The first kind works fine with gnopernicus, while the 
second kind does not work at all, even after entering the password 
normally. The list:

Works:

Disk manager
Networking
Services
Shared folders
Time and date
Users and groups


Does not work:

Language support
Login settings
Software Properties
Synaptic
Update manager

Most notably, the problem affects all the software installation apps 
(except command line apt)
