You're right. This bug had disappeared with Intrepid, but now it's back
again. Crashing only occurs when lowering the nice value still, so only
when gksu is triggered.
The upstream bug report suggested to change the gconf key /apps/gksu
/disable-grab key to True, which correctly stops the crash from occuring
(although gksu now has window decoration, another issue). Due to this, I
am marking as also affecting gksu.
** Changed in: ubuntu
Status: Fix Released => Triaged
** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => gksu
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor
I tried to change the priority of a process by right clicking > Change
Priority
After changing the slider value and clicking the Change Priority value,
System Monitor closes.
The crash only occurs when increasing the priority (lowering the nice
value). Decreasing priority works as intended.
+
+ WORKAROUND:
+ With gconf-editor, set /apps/gksu/disable-grab to True
