Bug#277723: gksu: locks up KDE desktop until dismissed.

[Gustavo Noronha Silva]

Hi,

This is expected behavior. gksu will grab mouse and keyboard focus so
that no other X application can 'listen' to what's being typed in the
password field.

If you can give me more information on this one I can try to make this
rarity a 'never happens'... can you give me some steps to reproduce it?

Thanks,
