Patch for gnome-system-tools. It changes all *.desktop files to execute the frontend through gksu, and adds the 'X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true' flag, so that only administrators will see the programs in the menu (this is what it looked like in dapper).
The patch to time-tool is necessary because it connects to the user's session dbus (no other g-s-t programs do), in order to poke the screensaver to not start when changing the time. Since root does not have a session bus when running though gksu, time-admin just hangs in current edgy when run as root. The patch checks if time-admin runs as root through sudo and temporarily drops the real uid to the user so that dbus_bus_get (DBUS_BUS_SESSION, NULL) connects to the user's session bus. ** Attachment added: "g-s-t debdiff for edgy-proposed" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5247800/gnome-system-tools.edgy.diff -- Admin tools require admin group membership https://launchpad.net/bugs/59946 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
