Thank you Nathan for your patches! Now that I think about it, I'm not sure which would be better. The gksu fix would avoid the need for the extra menu package on gnome systems, and essentially revert back to the old behaviour. I assume the reasoning behind Debian changing to menu in the first place was to support the other desktop environments (eg. KDE). In this case, it's probably best to replace the existing recommend for gksu to menu (I assume there would then be no need for gksu?). Disclaimer: I'm not a developer, so if I'm way off the mark, feel free to completely discard my suggestions :-).
Mathieu: You're right. This would be nice to include for 8.04.1, since it's a regression from previous releases. Wireshark as root is broken as-is, so there shouldn't be a problem getting a SRU for this small fix. -- no run as root in menu in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209084 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
