Bug#293236: gksu: Config file doesn't work as advertised

[Juergen Kreileder]

Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: normal

Setting "sudo-mode = yes" actually disables sudo mode.  "prompt = yes"
is also interpreted wrongly.
Here's a fix:

You also might want to document that setting "prompt = yes" only has
an effect if "disable-grab = yes" and "force-grab = no"
