Thanks for your bugreport. We use gksu (instead of gksudo) since some time (~dapper). We use a gconf option to turn gksu into gksudo by default.
Please tell me the output of: $ gconftool-2 --get /apps/gksu/sudo-mode Thanks, Michael ** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged => Medium ** Summary changed: - Edgy uses gksu instead of gksudo + Edgy uses gksu instead of gksudo (gconf problem?) -- Edgy uses gksu instead of gksudo (gconf problem?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/59079 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
