Bug#509308: gksu failing to remember password

[Rick Thomas]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-6

When I try to start the "Root Terminal" accessory on my recently installed (from the RC1 xfce CD) xfce4 "Sid" system it asks for the superuser password every time even though I have checked the "remember" box.  When I provide the password, the screen flashes a couple of times and the Root Terminal appears.

Looking at my .xsession-errors file leads me to belive that gksu is not interacting well with dbus, for some reason.

Got a clue?

Thanks!

Rick
