This bug has driven me crazy! So I wrote a patch :D
gksu is called quite often with the startup notification. I think ubuntu devs thought the solution was to get rid of the startup notification, since libgksu has its own one. That's why synaptic does not have this behaviour anymore, but most admin apps still do. What I have done is added a simple gdk_notify_startup_complete (); in gksu when the intilization is complete. (libgksu will create its own startup notification for the actual application that will be run as a different user.) I hope the patch is how it's meant to be (place it under the debian patches folder) --- I am new to ubuntu/debian development. NOTE: libgksu still has quite a few bugs. If you push cancel it still has the notification for ~15 seconds. Also if you wait or take over 15 seconds to type your password then the notification for the application being launched will not be present, because it would have timed out. I will try and get a nice patch for libgksu soon :) The attached patch fixes most problems that users will see though... ** Attachment added: "15_startup_notification.patch" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7380113/15_startup_notification.patch -- [Edgy + Feisty] Startup Notification broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
