Public bug reported:

When I invoke gksudo or gksu from terminal, I get the screen overlay
"Enter your password to perform administrative tasks", but it's
impossible to enter the password because the focus remains in the
terminal window. Clicking on the text box in the overlay has no effect.
I am ultimately only able to click "Ok" or "Cancel".

$ dpkg -l gksu
