Package: gksu Version: 2.0.0-5 Severity: normal If someone isntall a minimalistic X environment (for example, by installing a "base system", then "apt-get install gdm"), then no x-terminal-emulator is installed.
Even though it is sensible to have x-terminal-emulator with gksu, it isn't completly required either (for instance, gdm requires gksu to run its configuration interface). Therefore: * gksu should Recommend or Suggest x-terminal-emulator * gksu.desktop should use "TryExec: x-terminal-emulator" to hide the icon if no xterm is available (see patch attached).
