Hi Nagappan,
Thanks for the information about the work around.
Could you please tell me what happens if I install it? Will it replace the gksu dialog that appears when choosing an application that requires root privileges from the System menu? If I have to call it from terminal, I can continue to call those application with sudo.
Cheers
Francesco

Hello Francesco,
If you use gksu-polkit, you will not see the issue.

Hi,
It seems that gksu is partially incompatible to at-spi 1.28. In
fact, when at-spi is active and there is no application using it,
gksu works fine; however if there is an application using at-spi,
then the GNOME desktop stops to work properly.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Enable at-spi by putting a mark into the "Enable assistive
technology" checkbox of the System -> Preferences -> Assistive
Technologies control panel.
- Enable for example the "Trigger secondary click by holding down
the primary button" feature in the Accessibility tab of the mouse
control panel; this actively uses at-spi.
- Open the Synaptic Package Manager by using the appropriate menu
item in System -> Administration menu. After entering the password
in the gksu dialog, the Synaptic Package Manager does not work
properly.
However, if the steps above are performed without enabling the
checkbox in the Mouse control panel, the Synaptic Package Manager
works properly.
This is at least what is happening on my Ubuntu 9.10 installation.
Cheers
Francesco
