Occasionally and without any action on my part, I get a popup saying I need to authenticate in order to read others' actions. I have no clue what this is for, so I always reject them. Anyone got a clue?

This may be due to ABRT. Expand the details at the bottom of the pop-up and if the Vendor is "The ABRT Team", then the pop-up is benign. You can read problems you have encountered, but if a daemon or any other user hits a problem you do not have the authority to look at their processes.
To further check this, go to Applications>System Tools>Automatic Bug Reporting Tool. You can look at the "My" tab, but looking at the "System" tab (for example) will trigger the pop-up. Enter the root password (if you know it) and you will see a list of System's problems.
