Hey Michael,

I'm not sure I understand you. libgksuui handles the dialog which does
return GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL if the user cancels the dialog and
GTK_RESPONSE_OK if ok is clicked. libgksu's gksu_context_run returns a
boolean to tell if an error happened and a GError to explain what happened.

I'll assume you're saying that the gksu application, which uses these libs,
should use this information to return an error code itself, so I'll
reassign the bug. Please correct me if I'm wrong =3D).

Thanks,
