You have been subscribed to a public bug:
A user that does its typing with an onscreen keyboard is not able to
enter the password into the gksu dialogue, because it is a modal
dialogue.
In Feisty, there was a checkbox in the Assistive Technology settings
that was called "Password dialogues as floating windows" and that
transformed the gksu dialogue into a modeless dialogue by setting the
gconf key "/apps/gksu/disable-grab" to true.
Please, add such a checkbox to gnome-at-properties of gutsy.
Meanwhile, users can do the same by typing the following into a terminal:
gconftool-2 --set "/apps/gksu/disable-grab" --type bool "true"
