I don't know. All I do know is GTK apps such asSynaptic will only accept the old password.Cheers
Please try the following from a terminal in gnome: gksu lsThat should prompt you for the root password and should fail if the root account does not have a password.
gksudo lsThat should prompt you for your current user password (if configured so in /etc/sudoers)
Please experiment by providing your old/new password in each case and post back your findings.
