Re: gnome-utils porting report

["Bastien R. Nocera" <brn frontwire com>]

Hi,

It seems that I forgot to report on gnome-su. I haven't ported it yet.
Because of what it's like (ie. unmaintained, and untested on the
security level), I talked to Hans Petter, and I think we agreed that we
should use the xst-su as a base for a new gnome-su.

Anybody minds ?
