Public bug reported:
To reproduce (based on http://askubuntu.com/a/288506/10371):
Compare the first five commands:
echo 'foo\ bar'
sudo echo 'foo\ bar'
gksudo -- echo 'foo\ bar'
gksudo --su-mode -- echo 'foo\ bar'
gksu --sudo-mode -- echo 'foo\ bar'
To this:
gksu -- echo 'foo\ bar'
The last command prints "foo bar" rather than "foo\ bar" (excluding the
quotes).
