This also occurs when right-clicking a folder to "Open as Administrator", from caja 1.8.2. For this reason I have added "caja" as an affected package.
The problem is shown to occur from the command line whenever I see the file gksu.lock. If I run "gksudo --disable-grab caja" then that file is not created, and of course, there is no 15-20 second delay as there is when right-clicking a folder to "Open as Administrator". ** Description changed: Summary: gksudo commands can take up to about 15 seconds to complete. While waiting, no other desktop actions can occur, and the screen does not update until control is returned to the terminal. It shares a little with this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/253504 But I'm not creating a launcher. In the below output, the "Yeah, we're in..." is the last message before everything freezes. Then there is the approximate 15 second delay, the screen comes back and the last three lines of the output show. - rmadcow@msnbc:~$ gksudo --debug caja + ubuntu-mate1404@ubuntu-mate1404:~$ gksudo --debug caja No ask_pass set, using default! xauth: /tmp/libgksu-chlcZO/.Xauthority STARTUP_ID: gksudo/caja/4857-0-msnbc_TIME12647535 cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo cmd[1]: -H cmd[2]: -S cmd[3]: -p cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS cmd[5]: -u cmd[6]: root cmd[7]: -- cmd[8]: caja buffer: -GNOME_SUDO_PASS- brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended...
