Title:
gksudo grabs cmdline arguments even if they appear after the called
program (was: ubuntu-bug doesn't honor -w when called via gksudo)
Status in “gksu” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When calling ubuntu-bug -w it shows a dialog ("After closing this message
please click on an application window to report a problem about it.") and
expects you to click on some window to determine the process/package against
which the bug should be reported.
During a running upgrade I tried that and got: "that window doesn't belong to
you" (correct, it was owned by root :-))
Calling gksudo ubuntu-bug -w results in the standard dialog ("what kind of
problem do you want to report?") instead of the one initiated by the -w.
Steps to replicate:
1) call ubuntu-bug --- see the standard dialog
2) call ubuntu-bug -w --- see the "click" dialog
3) call gksudo ubuntu-bug -w --- see the standard dialog
btw: the attached logs seem to show a crash of apport, which is
unrelated to this bug
