I just realized this as well, after running "gksudo gconf-editor", logging out of Gnome, logging back in, and running the same command - it didn't re-prompt me for my password.
I'd say this is a security flaw, as you would expect to drop sudo privileges after logging out (just think if you were on a public terminal with a common user). -- Can't kill or abandon a gksudo session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
