gparted does have gksu as a "recommends:". However, if the gksu package is manually removed by the user, then yes, gparted running from the menu will be broken. This I think is true for other sudo requiring gnome/gtk packages when ran from menus on KDE and I imagine conversely true for KDE apps that use kde's sudo menu entries when on gnome.
Perhaps what is needed is an "alternatives" method to support different sudo via a symlink based on the desktop. This is a broader question of course, like the idea of a "sensible-sudo" that might for example be a script that uses $DESKTOP_SESSION. The packager could also change gksu from a "Recommends:" to a hard "Depends:", but I think this is not a good solution. -- gparted menu entry depends on gksu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616274 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
