Yes I do.

Here is what I see when I configure repo-changes to require root:

1. toggle a repo checkbox

2. get the following:

status changed: status 0

and the password dialog

3. cancel the password dialog, and no further signals on the PkClient,
neither finished, nor error...

4. The repo list stays at "Waiting for..."


I'd say it is wrong to clear the repo list in the first place, since
we never reget the list of repositories. "Waiting for ..." in the
treeview only ever makes sense at startup, when we haven't populated
the list yet.
