Bug#272133: gksu: better error message if password is wrong

[Michael Vogt]

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
