OK, the reproduction condition was actually easy enough. This bug
happens on a fresh and up-to-date etch simply by using fr_CA ISO-8859-1
locale. Considering the information submitted by Olivier, I guess this
happens for French locales when not using UTF-8.
Just to avoid pointing you in a wrong direction, this happens with kdesu
and not only when using gksu. There is only one element that looks
similar to me in synaptic's bug and the one with gksu : it happens when
both programs seem to display the output of a different program. In
synaptic's case some APT output is displayed. In gksu's case it normally
(if a wrong password is entered is a correctly working locale) displays
su output.
