The computer is logged by my gf, but I "su - my_account" in a terminal
with screen then running some root sessions too in order to work on my

In that case, plugging a USB partitionned disk now results in having to type in
the root password due to other users being logged.

Of course, it's not a generic issue... It'll probably annoy only me.
