Severity: normal
I add an item to /etc/sudoers so I can run it without a password:
martins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
I then run it under gksudo:
gksudo /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
I get the following weird behaviour:
1. The xterm window opens without requiring a password. Yay! I
close the xterm.
2. The password dialog appears. :-(
If I click OK or press the Enter key the password dialog
disappears and another xterm window opens.
If I click Cancel I don't get another xterm.
The password dialog should not reappear!
I also see the following error each time an xterm opens:
Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
I don't get this error if I run sudo instead of gksudo.
Thanks...

Description:
gksu - graphical frontend to su
gnome-sudo - dumb package to provide smooth upgrade to gksu
Closes: 304047 309531 312937 314477
Changes:
gksu (1.3.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
- includes the Romanian translation (Closes: #309531)
- works better with sudo not needing the password (Closes: #312937)
- features a --always-ask-password (-a) to bypass
trying to get password automatically (Closes: #314477)
- will handle cases in which su does not need a password, too
(Closes: #304047)
* debian/control.in:
- updated Build-Depends to have libgksu1.2 >= 1.3.1 because this
version is using a new API function
* debian/gksu.conffiles:
- removed; lintian is reporting duplicate conffile, meaning that
debhelper might be being able to take care of this itself
