Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.26.2-1
Severity: important
Under Gnome, clicking on the "root terminal" menu item causes
"Startinng Root Terminal" to appear for a while in the list of
programs at the bottom of the screen, but no root terminal
window appears, ad eventually the "Starting Root Terminal"
disappears from the list.
Normal terminal windows start just fine.
If I do "gksu gnome-terminal" from a normal window I get these messages:
rbthomas at greybox:~$ gksu gnome-terminal
** (gnome-terminal:6184): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.
