Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.5-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gksuexec
There are a number of interface issues with the user list in gksuexec:
1. The users in the list are ordered randomly.
(They probably are ordered in /etc/passwd or UID sequence, but
they look completely unordered to the user.)
2. The unordered list requires searching all the list to pick the user.
This is tedious and error prone.
3. There is no incremental search in the user list.
4. And to top it all off, even if I know the user I want to run the
program as in advance, I cannot just type in that user name and
thus work around the unusable user list.
I suggest these changes:
1. Sort user names alphabetically to make looking for a specific name
easier.
2. Add incremental search.
I have is a standard way to do this, which is used in lots of
different programs.
3. Make it possible to just enter a username, bypassing the user list.
You can still choose not to accept user names which do not exist.
