Indeed it works when running without $DISPLAY, i. e. apport calls sudo
directly. But it doesn't seem to cache credentials when using gksu, as
this creates new PTYs (to run sudo in) every time.
We could provide a new API root_commands_output to accept a keyname ->
[command list] and slurp in all command outputs in one go. The xorg hook
could then use that.
** Summary changed:
- Apport hook prompts 3 times for password
+ consecutive root_command_output() calls ask for password each time
** Also affects: apport (Ubuntu)
