hi,

it seems to have something to do with gksu.
The bug only occurs when i select 'Authentication mode: su' in '
gksu-properties'.

How to reproduce the bug:

1: start gksu-properties and select 'Authentication mode: su'
  - I have also selected 'Grab mode: enable'.
  - No problem with 'Authentication mode: sudo'.

2: create a printer named 'Printer(PS)'
  - done via http://localhost:631/, but it should not matter.
  - selected IPP,ipp://10.0.0.1,Generic,'Generic PostScript Printer
Foomatic/Postscript (recommended) (en)' (should not matter, but just in
case)

3: start gnome-cups-manager
  - chri at chrilap:~$ LANG=en_GB gnome-cups-manager --sync
(it will work with any locale)

4: right-click on 'Printer(PS)' and open the properties-window.

5: click on 'Become Administrator' as a result, the applcation will crash:

chri at chrilap:~$ sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 0: `gnome-cups-manager --properties Printer(PS)'



Greetings
