[Bug 930972] Re: Different behaviour with same package versions

[Sam_]

** Description changed:

  This is on laptop alpha-1 installation, there is no icon for it in app lens.
  Crash happens reproducable on initial run via alt+f2, apport then leads user to dupe bug 911834.
- It doesn't request authentication.
+ It doesn't request authentication when running via alt+f2 or dash (workaround #3).
  
  On a pc alpha-2 installation no crash yet and it has an icon in app lens, so no need to run alt+f2.
  It does request authentication.
+ 
+ On pc, when running from a terminal it doesn't request authentication:
+ ~$ software-properties-gtk
+ gpg: /tmp/tmpQVaH4f/trustdb.gpg: trust-db created
  
  Package versions are the same on both machines.
