Public bug reported: I join an Active Directory domain, using Krb5 and winbind. I have done it both following the howtos from the Ubuntu forums, and using SADMS. Everything goes ok. Then, when I log on, sudo still works as normal, but gksudo (or gksu) stops working. (i.e., if I run synaptic from the administrative menu, or by typing "gksudo synaptic", I get the "Starting administrative application" message, but it disappears after a long while, and nothing else happens. But if I type "sudo synaptic", it works OK). This happens both with my local user, and with domain users added to the sudoers. I have noticed this bug on the three versions of Ubuntu I have tried: Dapper, Edgy and Feisty.
