Package: xfe
Version: 1.45-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to open xfe in root mode from within the user mode
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Click icon. Enter PW, little PW-window closes ... nothing happens.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
xfe should open in root mode.
sudo is not configured. Root mode does not work whether I chose "su" or
"pkexec" in "xfe/preferences/modes"
Downgrading to the prior version (1.43.2-3) solves the problem
reproducibly. I know people where the 1.45-1 version works in root
mode, so this may be a very subtil bug only appearing in some corner
cases?
Let me know if you need any further info or whatever ....
