Public bug reported: When launching Back in Time (root) in unity, it opens a terminal window and uses sudo to ask for password and authenticate. But this way it uses user preferences, not root preferences. This is not what I expect.
After installing gksu (which is not a dependency of backintime-gnome), it asks for password via the gksudo window, and does use root preferences, as I expect. I think gksudo should be a dependency of backintime-gnome.
