Thanks for the bug report, but I don't think we can do much about this
from Onboard's side. It's probably best if you check and upgrade your
launchers. Here's a quote from Bug #987343:
"The second issue is probably due to gksu in one of your launchers.
IIRC, gksu has been deprecated in ubuntu in favor of pkexec. I'd
recommend that you update the desktop file you are attempting to launch
and replace gksu with pkexec.
The alternative is to turn off the black screen with
$ gconftool-2 -s /apps/gksu/disable-grab -t bool true
This was a rather common thing to do back in the time, but I can't recommend
it, as this opens up a security hole."
Marking invalid, as we can't fix this. Don't stop reporting bugs,
though.
