In Snow Leopard, the default dialog text is now "Type your password to
allow MyApp to make changes." In Leopard it was "MyApp.app requires
that you type your password." The SL version is slightly misleading,
at least from a user's perspective. In our app we aren't making any
direct changes, we're just launching a process. I know we can tack on
text to the front of the dialog via kAuthorizationEnvironmentPrompt
but this will have to take into account the text changes from Leopard
and Snow Leopard to make sense.
Is there any workaround for this? It'd be nice to give the
authorization dialog a "type" so it can display a different message
based on the context. I realize this is a "security feature" for not
allowing the text to be changed, but it's fairly important to let the
user know why their password is being requested.
