Package: gksu Version: 2.0.0-5 When setting the gconf key /apps/gksu/sudo-mode to false, gksu seems to not be able to display the password prompt to the user.
Steps to reproduce: 1: $ gconftool -t bool --set /apps/gksu/sudo-mode true 2: $ gksu synaptic Expected results: Gksu should prompt the user, as set in the sudoers file. Actual results: Nothing happens. (almost) A button labeled 'Granting rights' in Gnome's window list applet. 'ps aux|grep gksu' shows that gksu is still running, maybe waiting for input or trying to grab the screen. If I first authenticate myself to sudo so that it still 'remembers' me, and doesn't need to prompt for the password, gksu synaptic works fine. If I set /apps/gksu/sudo-mode to false, as it is in the default configuration, the normal authentication with the root password works fine, too. My environment: Running Lenny, with some packages from sid.
