Non-persistent root permissions

Upon opening System Settings and clicking on Firewall, two KAuth dialogs pop up:

And after leaving the KCM and reentering, dialog 1 always requests authentication.

Seems to me authentication should be requested either once during the time System Settings is open (with a time limit) or once every time the Firewall KCM is opened.

I'm using firewalld 0.9.1.
