mvo,
gksudo still gives a message to stderr if the wrong password is entered,
but it exits with status 0. If gksudo is invoked by a program not run
from a terminal (as it commonly is) then there is no visible indication
of what has gone wrong.
For example feisty's update-manager runs gksudo to install the updates,
but if I type the wrong password I'm just returned to the update list
with no indication what happened.
** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
