Well, you could have been a bit more clear about what "it" was then. How were we supposed to guess this was about a Gnome applet? Unfortunately I don't know anything about Gnome. IIRC gksu or something like that is supposed to handle this correctly. I suggest you take this up with the Gnome maintainers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
