[Bug 931498] Re: inconsistent password dialogue UI

Thanks for the update Fitoschido. How about using gksu-polkit instead of the old gksu for applications which still use gksu? Does it make any difference in the UI? I can see gksu-polkit in the multiverse repos. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

If you install gksu-polkit and use it to run programs as root (i.e. running gksu-polkit nautilus in a terminal instead of gksu nautilus) then you'll be asked for your password with the PolicyKit UI. But I think it would be better that programs using gksu be updated to use PolicyKit directly

Each of your screenshots correspond to a different privilege management application: * The 3rd party's own UI * GNOME Screensaver * PolicyKit * And a fourth exists, gksu To be consistent, all apps should use policykit, because it's newer than gksu (as it's still supported, gksu is obsolete).
