[Error] Prompted to enter the (root) password twice for exported applications when `root=true` (or `--root`)

[JeanLuX]

Describe the bug
I've noticed that when I export a program into a root Distrobox, I'm prompted to enter the (root) password twice.
I understand being asked once, but the second time feels unnecessary and kind of annoying.

To Reproduce

Create one distrobox with root=true option (distrobox.ini):

[container]
name=test
image=quay.io/toolbx/ubuntu-toolbox:24.04
root=true
init=true
additional_packages=systemd
volume=~/.local/linuxbrew:/home/linuxbrew

distrobox assemble create

Generated desktop file by 'distrobox-export --app codium'

Expected behavior
The root password should only be requested once.

Logs
Run the commands with --verbose and post the log here as a file upload
Attach also the output of podman logs or docker logs, possibly with --latest flag

Desktop:

• Podman 5.4.2
• Distrobox 1.8.1.2
• Fedora Linux 41 Kinoite | KDE Plasma 6.3.4 | Linux kernel: 6.13.10-200.fc41.x86_64 | OSTree v41.20250411.0
• Distrobox installed with rpm-ostree install distrobox

This is a problem with the authentication app. You won't run into it with sudo, because sudo remembers the last time you used it and keeps authentication for that time.
