Re: Programs that need root privileges

[Milan Bouchet-Valat <nalimilan club fr>]

That's a bug in gksu, the program responsible for starting applications
as the root user. The problem is that it locks the whole screen while
you type your password.

Hopefully, I think it is to be changed to use PolicyKit for
authentication, meaning that it would use the standard password dialog
that does not grab keyboard for the whole desktop. So that's just a
matter of waiting for the fix to be released.
