Bug#505114: gksu should suggest x-terminal-emulator; gksu menu should depend on it.

[Frank Lin PIAT]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: normal

If someone isntall a minimalistic X environment (for example, by installing
a "base system", then "apt-get install gdm"), then no x-terminal-emulator
is installed.

Even though it is sensible to have x-terminal-emulator with gksu, it isn't
completly required either (for instance, gdm requires gksu to run its 
configuration interface).

Therefore:
* gksu should Recommend or Suggest x-terminal-emulator
* gksu.desktop should use "TryExec: x-terminal-emulator" to hide the
  icon if no xterm is available (see patch attached).

Thanks,

Franklin
