This is normal...libgnomesu asks for the root passwd so that it can
chown a file so that gnome-system-monitor will have access to root. If
you don't care about g-s-m then you can just hit <Enter> and it'll skip
it. I think that this is covered in the FAQ...

Yes, this is a known issue when building with the system installed
mozilla. We will try and fix it soon. :)
