That looks more like a Ubuntu type thing to me. Debian's gnome should be asking for the root password to perform administrative functions, not a the user password, unless of course it is actually calling gksudo to do the functions. Since I don't use gnome, I could be wrong, but KDE always wants the root password when doing things like mentioned above.
