maybe easiest fix would be to add options ``-s /bin/sh'' to su and maybe make the paths to the commands absolute? (i guess we do not have to worry here about restricted shells as this command wouldn't be executable as restricted users and the command is harmless? '' -- You received this bug

Interesting observation is also that it depends on which workspace you are. It works properly if the left margin is an ``interior'' workspace boundary (i.e., there is another workspace to the left) but it does result in a (according to xwininfo) 11pt gap to the left margin in all left-most
