Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gksu
Using update-manager in netbook-remix Lucid Lynx
- gksu does not display dialog
(sporadic rather than every time).
consequently update-manager just sits there and spins its wheel with no
error message.
This is annoying - for neophytes, very off-putting in terms of user
experience of Linux desktop.
