sudo only seems to be a risk to me if you edit your /etc/sudoers in a
bad way... gksudo functionality is actually built into gksu; if you look
close enough you'll see.

I have no plans of packaging these functionalities separately. Feel free
to propose a patch or another solution if you wish; I may end up
accepting it. =3D)

Thanks,
