Bug#346588: gnome-terminal: Warns about root terminal being opened without password when it was

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.12.0-2
Severity: minor

Hi, I just upgrade to the last version of xorg, and after using my 
traditional: 'gksu -a /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator' command and 
inputting my root password, I received a warning about the fact that:

 "The terminal was opened without a password, but that this was ok 
because the way of my setup and blah, blah" or something like that:D

  I just wanted to point out that I did indeed have a window asking for 
a password before the terminal opened. Also, as expected, if I don't put 
my password, then the terminal does not open.

       Thanks!
