root priveleges for the desktop and GUI apps in Fedora

When I run an app that requires root it prompts me for the root
password. After I enter it a 'key' icon appears on the right side of
the panel. This appears to indicate that I have root priveleges for my
GUI session. This is a great idea which could save me from entering my
root password repeatedly.
But it doesn't seem to work completely. The key dissapears after a
while, and I still encounter some cases where it doesn't recognize that
I have root privileges.
Is there documentation for this feature somewhere? Is this a RH feature?
Thanks,
Tom.
