Note that the implementation should or could use an IPC to pass both the question and the answer around between processes (one being ran as root and the other being ran as the user). Because also the GtkDialog-code that would be used in such an X11 implementation, would be a security risk if you'd ran it as root. -- The build-in terminal is not set read-only https://launchpad.net/bugs/43328 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
