Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.5-3
Severity: important
gksudo cannot be used with stable's sudo as of DSA 946-1[1] as the
DISPLAY environment variable (and perhaps some related to X authority,
etc. - not sure how that works) are no longer inherited from the calling
environment.
There is a related bug[2] filed against sudo, specifically complaining
about the documentation angle.
I found the solution in a blog posting[3]: add the following via visudo:
Defaults env_reset, env_keep="XAUTHORITY DISPLAY"
Finally, [4] looks like where the problem was introduced.
I suppose gksudo needs to be more aware of the environment variables it
needs, check to see if sudo will propagate them, and inform the user if
it won't (or postinst/debconf "fix" the sudoers file). What do you
think? Do you have another solution in mind?
