Well, this is the normal behaviour. Its the same if you try to run a CLI application by using sudo, the password asked is that of your root user.

Perhaps this wiki page will clarify it for you:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

On the base of this, I'm marking this bug as invalid (its not a bug but the normal behaviour). Please let us know if you disagree or you need any other clarifications.

Thanks.
