I'm not actually running anything from an application. My use case is
that I have two accounts (one for work, one for personal use).
Occasionally, I'm in one session and want to run a program as my other
account.
It seems that the -u option neither works in gksu, or gksudo.
I'm now running Hardy beta. Running gksudo with -u resulted in the
following output after asking me for my password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu -u warnerd thunderbird
(thunderbird-bin:10508): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
Then running gksudo came straight back to the command prompt (though it
looks like an application window popped up for an instant). Running gksu
again results in the same behaviour. Running gksu or gksudo without -u
works Ok.
** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
