Public bug reported:
Having upgraded from Ubuntu 7.04 to Ubuntu 7.10 just the other day, I've
noticed that the gksu thing for doing administrative tasks seems to have
an annoying problem.
For example, if I start Synaptic, it'll come up with the gksu prompt for
my password. If I enter my password and click "OK", it pauses for a
while, with the password prompt box still there (and seemingly
unresponsive) and the desktop still faded. It's paused long enough for
me to wonder if it had hung/frozen permanently. Usually, so far, it
eventually disappeared, and things have proceeded as normal, though
there was one occasion when I resorted to killing the X server.
My system is a Dell Inspiron 530n that came with Ubuntu 7.04
preinstalled. I upgraded to 7.10 just the other day by clicking the
upgrade button in the update manager thingy. Also, I've got the Xubuntu
packages installed from the repositories, as I prefer the Xubuntu
flavour. Oh, and I'm using the restricted nVidia driver, because I'm a
bad boy.
