It may also be that gksu saved the old password in keychain, and he
set the keychain's password to be the same as the old password, and
now it's just asking him for the password to the keychain.
That could be. I don't know. All I do know is GTK apps such as
Synaptic will only accept the old password.
Cheers
Please try the following from a terminal in gnome:
gksu ls
That should prompt you for the root password and should fail if the root
account does not have a password.
gksudo ls
That should prompt you for your current user password (if configured so
in /etc/sudoers)
Please experiment by providing your old/new password in each case and
post back your findings.
