On Windows NT you had to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete at the login prompt
because that was a key combination that no other application could
intercept. Nowadays you work as a non-privileged user but then you have
to enter your admin password in various dialog boxes with no way of
knowing if its legit (sometimes ubuntu shows you an ugly-looking
(i.e. wrong styled) gtk input dialog during updates. But only
sometimes. Thats very confusing.).
On the other hand, each desktop application should be able to request
root access. And if you trust these applications (e.g. handbrake on
macos) you wouldn't bother to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete or do whatever else
it takes.

Any good solution for that?
