Bug#535495: Bug in 'gksu users-admin'

[Amit]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-8
Severity: normal



-- System Information:
Debian Release: 5.0.2
  APT prefers proposed-updates
  APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash


*Analysis of the problem* -

When using option -  "K-menu > system > Users and Groups' > select 'root'
from the list > click on 'Properties' > go to 'advance' tab'

The working directory of 'root' is set to '/home/root' when it should have
been /'root' that renders Root Terminal, FireStarter (firewall), Synaptic
useless as they can't find .conf files in '/home/root'.
*
Suggestion* -

Root directory should be set to '/root' & should NOT change every time the
user logs into 'Users and Groups' panel.
