Starting "Install Software" from start menu doesn't prompt for root pass!

English Applications

I just installed opensuse 12.1 and my main user is NOT root, has a different password from root, is not part of the root group yet when I open things from the start menu that should prompt for a root password, they just open without prompting for a password! How do I fix this?

Please ignore this, it turned out to be I’m an idiot and hadn’t ejected the CD.

actually: Thank you for posting the solution! because when i read your
symptoms i thought: HOW/WHY does that happen??

and, because you took the trouble to post again, i (and i guess a few
others) now know!

thank you (and you are not an idiot…proven by the simple fact you are
smart enough to use Linux!!)
