Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nmap
Menu launch of zenmap under zfce4 fails when suggested packages are
installed due to inconsistency between suggestions and method for
gaining root: package suggests 'gksu', menu entry tries su-to-root
(provided by package 'menu'). For this reason, under the recommended
installation, starting zenmap as su root from the menu fails to work.
