A graphical PolicyKit dialog that asks for the root password?
Interesting. I didn't run X as root either.

What I remember is that I opened xterm for "su -" and then used "parted"
to change the partition table on /dev/sda. I started with deleting
partitions 6 and 7 so I could merge them into one. After a reboot, I used
fdisk to fix the partition numbering. At either one of those steps, some
component (possibly gnome-volume-manager) went wild and mounted the
renumbered partitions on /media/* and created desktop icons.

Could it be that while I was root something passed on the permissions
without asking for the password?
