The

"Could not launch menu item
Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)"

problem is because you do not have the su-to-root application installed.
apparently the su-to-root allows you to run an application as super
user, similarly to sudo. If you add the -X option it is equivalent to
gksudo.

Just install the package "menu" using synaptic and this problem will be
solved.

I really do not know we this package is not already installed, or why
gksudo is not used in the first place.

I upgraded to Intrepid 32-bit from Hardy (32-bit), may be a clean
install would not have  the problem.

Now that the su-to-root problem is behind us, the problem remains that
the GUI crashes.

It appears that the gadmin-proftpd version that is currently in the
repositories has a bug (see also
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gadmin-proftpd/+bug/276181).

Just install the newer version from here

http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian/pool/main/g/gadmin-proftpd/

and the problem will be solved.

I do not know if it matters, but I completely removed the gproftpd
package (which apparently is outdated now), just to be on the safe side.

The package you have to download is:

gadmin-proftpd_0.3.5-2_i386.deb           --> for 32-bit systems

or

gadmin-proftpd_0.3.5-2_amd64.deb      --> for 64-bit systems

Let me know if this worked for you.
