Reverting to gnome-system-tools 2.30.0-0ubuntu2 (from Lucid) does make a
difference. I also needed to install liboobs-1-4 2.30.0-0ubuntu1.
It eventually works, but outputs this warning:

Sorry, but we don't support logging in as the root user. This is highly
unsecure and strongly discouraged. I'm not sure what may be happening,
but it's possible something like a D-Bus policy is blocking messages
from being sent to root. You may want to have a look at
/var/log/auth.log for such erro

how you'd think of doing so.
@Milan: Dude, we all appreciate the great work you're doing.
But stating that you won't correct a bug and tag it as invalid just because you
feel people dont program your way is a bit outrageous and reactionary (even if
I agree with your "should not log as root" statement...). It is irrelevant th
If you think it's more fair, I can mark it as Triaged. But IMHO that's
as fallacious as Invalid since I know I won't fix it and nobody will now
that the gst are deprecated upstream.
(Of course, hadn't it been deprecated, the easy fix would have been to
exit when we detect user is root. ;-)
