Package: gnome-apt
Severity: wishlist
At present, when the normal user has an X session running, all these fail:
gnome-apt insufficient permissions
su - ; gnome-apt "cannot open display"
su -p ; gnome-apt directories missing from PATH
When running as a normal user, gnome-apt should recognize when root
permissions will be needed, ask for the root password, and acquire the
necessary permissions. (The SGI system management tools work this
way. It encourages the sysadmin to do most of his work NOT logged in
as root.)
