Thanks for the fix, and the debdiffs!
ACK.
I'm uploading it to quantal now, with a slight change: I've added
headers to your patch as per guidelines:
http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/
Once it's been in Quantal for a few days, we can SRU it into precise.

Authentication dialog window loses focus easily - Ubuntu 12.04

Bug description:
This is a fresh install of Precise from the beta1 alternate CD, but
the problem has been occurring in earlier versions. I originally
installed Oneiric and upgraded before the alpha 1 release.
When using an application that needs administrative access, I notice
that the password dialog box loses focus easily, and I can end up
typing the password in places where it's easily visible. Examples are
a nautilus search area, terminal window or draft email.
Mostly I'm using Gnome fallback, though I've observed the same
behaviour in Unity 2D as well. I'm still not clear what is causing the
loss of focus. Sometimes it's because I've clicked on something else,
but not always. Nor does the dialog always lose focus.
An authentication box called by explicitly typing "gksu" doesn't lose
focus. The screen dims as well, which is not happening with the other
dialogs.
I'm not sure what the proper package to report against is, so feel
free to move to wherever it's appropriate.
