Bug#296414: gksudo produces buggy output and doesn't work

[Loïc Minier]

Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.3-2
Severity: normal

        Hi,

 Here's the usual output of gksudo:
==================================================================
bee% sudo ls

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Password:
==================================================================

 now gksudo output:

==================================================================
bee% gksudo ls

We trust you ha
    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

==================================================================

 (Typing passwords and pressing enter doesn't go out of the loop,
 presumably gksudo is waiting for some particular string to start a
 dialog, so I press ^C.)

 Should I forward this to the Savannah project?

 Bye,
