Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gksu
Default behaviour for new windows is to start with the user's default keyboard
layout. However, gksu inherits the keyboard layout used by the window that had
focus when gksu started. The user does not expect this behaviour since it
contradicts the default behaviour of other windows, and most of the time the
gksu prompt is totally unrelated to the focused window (when starting an
administrative application from the System menu, for example), which further
adds to the user's confusion.
As a side note, I believe most users pick a Latin-script password (since
virtually every computer supports it), so having gksu start with a different
keyboard layout is totally useless for most users.
** Affects: gksu (Ubuntu)
