Upstream we use gksu, it is changed to su-to-root in the ubuntu packages, however it seems to be a very neat solution for a common encountered problem. Are there any strong arguments not to switch upstream, eg what is the availability of su-to-root on other distributions, like Suse, or Fedora, or i

Seems reasonable. However, the launcher starts "su-to-root backintime- gnome" and is included in the backintime-gnome package. backintime-kde also has it's own launcher, while backintime-common doesn't include one. -- BackInTime karmic package missing depends on menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bu
