REDHAT 8.0 local root

[<overclocking_a_la_abuela () hotmail com>]

Today I posted what I think is a possible bug on Redhat 8.0 with Gnome 
desktop enviroment. This should help:

1)Log on as unpriviledge user
2)run startx to have a Gnome session
3)try to start some admin task from X (you´ll be prompted for root 
password)

Now you have the pam-panel-icon activated. Then try to kill it in this two 
ways:

1) pkill -9 pam-panel-icon
2) pkill -15 pam-panel-icon

A "pkill -9" will not kill the pam-panel-icon. Instead, it will re-appear
A "pkill -15" will nicely kill the pam-panel-icon.

This may explain why a logout of Gnome session or a reboot keep the pam-
panel-icon activated.
I think this is a dangerous behaviour.
