Thank you, Alex, so I am closing this bug since the original bug is no longer present.
I think treating "gksu" special would be the wrong way. The run dialog could be improved by providing a checkbox [ ] Run as superuser this would keep commands like "sudo" and "gksu" out of the run dialog and the icon preview would work correctly. I think we have already a request like this in launchpad but I am not 100% sure. ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- Using gksu with Alt-F2 laucher displays wrong icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
