The passwords don't have any special characters in them. This is actually worse than the older bug (#14122) since gksu doesn't recognize regular character passwords. The older gksu didn't have this problem it seems to have been introduced but the newer gksu. I can't access synaptic, update-manager and other gui applications that has to be run as root unless sudo is used. I have experience this problem every now and then while using feisty and not Dapper. A simple solution usually solves this problem which is deleting the .cache in the home directory but now it doesn't work. After the older gksu has been replaced by the newer one its now a recurring problem with no apparent solution. Before this happened I did have a strange problem where I can't run mousepad as a regular user, I have to be root else it crashes. But until now and with the gksu issue the problems still remain. They might be related.
