They sort of did solve this bug. Rather than using gksu and running applications as an administrator, most applications that require "administrator-privileges" use a separate background application. Those applications have a "unlock" button.
Most applications have already been upgraded to this new approach, except for a few, like the update-manager. I think the plan, there, is to integrate it, within the USC. I'm not an ubuntu-dev, but it seems they were aiming to fix many problems at once, using this new architecture, but it's more work, so it takes a bit longer, but when it's done, not just this bug, but many others can be closed. It's a different trade-off. On the other hand, the customization, and manual themes in general, is taking a back-seat to other priorities. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (30108). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24280 Title: applications run through gksu cannot use themes in ~/.themes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gksu/+bug/24280/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
