Wait, no. That patch is correct if you run gksu from a terminal.
If it's started from a .desktop file (sabayon's .desktop's command is "gksu sabayon") it doesn't pop up with anything. Still stumped... but the above patch gets us closer, I think -- libgksu fails to start many programs, fails with: assert g_str_has_prefix str != NULL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
