I'm also having issues w/this behavior. My scripts count on gksudo exit code to
error when the executed command fails.
Does anyone know about any workarounds/gksudo replacements?
I don't even mind launching a new terminal running sudo or something in that
direction...

Doesn't return
I have scripts that use something like
sudoCmd=sudo
[...]
$sudoCmd $0 $@
In the [...]-part there is code that decides whether a terminal is
connected or not and then changes $sudoCmd if not.
Is there another way for me to query whether the programm called with
gksu(do) succeeded?

Doesn't
In my opinion gksu should return exit code of wrapped application. It is dumb
to have graphical su/sudo behaving differently than console su/sudo:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo false; echo $?
Password:
1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu false; echo $?
Password:
0

Doesn't return correct system exit code
I agree... this is done like this to let applications calling gksu know
if an error to the process of scaling privileges has happened. We could
change that to a message printed to stderr instead, and make gksu return
the error code returned by the application. What do you think, Michael?

I just spent 20 minutes banging my head over my code before it occured
to me that gksu was to blame. And indeed:
$ gksu false; echo $?
0
This is wrong.

gksu and sudo are doing exactly same thing now. Closing. Feel free to
reopen if this is still a problem.
