Bug#481689: should default to gksudo if root doesn't have a password

[Avery Fay]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: important

The latest snapshots of the debian installer allow root to have no 
password (pure sudo system). Since gksu seems to default to su behavior 
instead of sudo behavior, this breaks all of gnomes admin menu items. I 
think gksu should check whether root has a password and if not it should 
default to gksudo behavior.
