Comment(by greenfeld):

 Also of note: If the system needs to asks for a password, receives an
 invalid one, or otherwise is denied su rights, the terminal session then
 ends.  If there was only one session open, this also forces the activity
 to exit.

 This might be a good security deterrent, but could be very confusing for
 users.
