Public bug reported:
When launching Back in Time (root) in unity, it opens a terminal window
and uses sudo to ask for password and authenticate. But this way it uses
user preferences, not root preferences. This is not what I expect.
After installing gksu (which is not a dependency of backintime-gnome),
it asks for password via the gksudo window, and does use root
preferences, as I expect.
I think gksudo should be a dependency of backintime-gnome.
