It's definitely the right password 
Open System Monitor and try adjusting the priority of a process.
Any ideas? |

| Same issue here since I first used gnome. Bug 17880 is awfully similar, yet unresolved since 2003-03. |

The fix at the bottom worked for me... Try this...
| Code: | | emerge -av --oneshot gnome-system-monitor |
After the source has unpacked hit in the terminal window to pause the merge.
(assuming you have a default portage setup)
| Code: | | nano -w /var/tmp/portage/gnome-system-monitor-(your.version.here)/work/gnome-system-monitor-(your.version.here)/src/util.c |
(all on one line)
Goto around line 272 (273 for me) and change
| Code: | | execlp ("su", "su", "-m", user_p, "-c", exec_p, NULL); |
to
| Code: | | execlp ("su", "-m", user_p, "-c", exec_p, NULL); |
then type fg in the term to resume the merge.
Worked for me in gsm-2.7.0

| Thanks, but my point was that a fix is available but hasn't been merged or upstreamed yet. Nothing serious, but not really good either. |
