Title:
gksu inherits current window's keyboard layout
Status in “gksu” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gksu
Default behaviour for new windows is to start with the user's default
keyboard layout. However, gksu inherits the keyboard layout used by the window
that had focus when gksu started. The user does not expect this behaviour since
it contradicts the default behaviour of other windows, and most of the time the
gksu prompt is totally unrelated to the focused window (when starting an
administrative application from the System menu, for example), which further
adds to the user's confusion.
As a side note, I believe most users pick a Latin-script password (since
virtually every computer supports it), so having gksu start with a different
keyboard layout is totally useless for most users.
