Screenshot of application with extremelly long name that fails to tell what it
wants.

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to save an wireless access point configuration, KDE will present me
with a dialogue telling that I need a password. But it doesn't specify which
password it wants. It has to tell some information about what it wants. It
currently reads: 
"An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges.
Authentication is required to perform this action." So as I authenticate as
what? Root, current user, guest? :)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start nm-applet, right click on its applet to get a menu, choose "edit
connections". Go to wireless tab, choose "Add" and add some data, check the
"Available to all users" box and try to save.
