Bug#504803: workaround: use sudo mode

The bug only occurs when gksu uses su to launch apps.
Using sudo doesn't show the bug.

Therefore, a workaround:

1) enable sudo for your user (as root, do visudo and copy the existing
privilege for the root user (near the end of the file), substituting
your userid)

2) as your user, run gconf-editor, go to apps-> gksu and turn on
sudo-mode

Now, launched apps will have the focus.
