Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: wishlist
A more descriptive error message would be nice if the user does not
enter the correct password. Right now, the message is:
"Failed to run %s as user root:
Child terminated with 1 status"
not all users understand that this is caused due a wrong password. It
may be better to use the string from su ("su: Authentication failure")
and present it to the user.
thanks,
Michael
