Can't help you there. That is a decision for the artists 
and usability folks.

The patch has GTK_STOCK_DIALOG_AUTHENTICATION... do we see
this dialog as being used only for dialogs? 

I'm sure people will be tempted to use it for menu items,
buttons, etc. If we think that usage is inappropriate,
then the DIALOG name makes sense. If we think it is OK,
then dropping the DIALOG probably makes sense.

(Note that there is no way to create a GtkMessageDialog with a
particular icon currently ... so this wouldn't be that useful 
if wanted it for alerts _about_ authentication; you can only 
use it for hand-constructed dialogs, or hacked up message
dialogs.)
