Package: menu Version: 2.1.41 Severity: wishlist --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hello i am here to talk about 'menu' Debian package and its script su-to-root. I think this package and script is/was developed by Debian (Debian mainteiners/developers are also upstream) by this i am writting this here. "menu" package has inside a bash script called 'su-to-root' to launch X applications using the proper authentication method according to the Desktop (gksu for Gnome, kdesu for KDE, etc..). This is a useful script, but applications that want to use su-to-root needs to depend on 'menu' for asure that .desktop launcher will work using su-to-root. The problem is that many users and many Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions do not want to install 'menu' package because it may add Debian menu, which is found useless in some cases having Gnome or KDE menus. By this, me and some other persons have thought in to split 'menu' package and su-to-root script into two different packages. And we have thought that upstream developers may want to support the idea. I will be waiting for your answer. Cheers.
