This has been fixed in 1.0.8, which has just been released. It's still 
propagating through the mirrors, so you may have to wait until tomorrow to get 
it.

No, it doesn't produce a log at the moment.

Let me explain:
The log files are by default, readable by the mysql or root user only.
So Administrator uses a helper tool which aquires supervisor rights
whenever it's executed. The password dialog is requested because I only want to 
allow users with administrator rights to be able to call the helper. Also, the 
1st time Administrator is executed, the helper needs to request the system to 
set a special flag in it and that requires the authentication again. Subsequent 
uses, should only request the password once.
