What about moving the su-to-root binary to a different binary package ? Bill what's your PoV about spliting it ? As a side benefit, if su-to-root were not inside menu, I guess that many package would depend on it, rather than depending directly on gksu or kdesudo as they currently do... Franklin P.S. I am actually surprised that so few package depend/use su-to-root. (looks like an inconsistent dependency on gksu/kdesu/su-to-root/.. but that' beyond the scope of my MBF). disk-manager: simple graphical filesystem configurator --> It's gtk based, so it might switch to gksu bleachbit: delete unnecessary files from the system --> It's gtk based, so it might switch to gksu etherape: graphical network monitor --> It's gtk based, so it might switch to gksu firestarter: GTK program for managing and observing your firewall --> It's gtk based, so it might switch to gksu fish: a friendly interactive shell --> ncurse based shell... the menu dependency is a bit weird ;-) fityk: general-purpose nonlinear curve fitting and data analysis --> I doubt its sudo'ing... I'll check gadmin-bind : GTK+ configuration tool for bind9 gadmin-openvpn-client gadmin-openvpn-server gadmin-proftpd gadmin-rsync gadmin-samba --> Those are gtk based, so they might switch to gksu I'll continue that list later. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
