[Sthu]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.2-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


I can not run two applications w/ gksu:

chromium

qbittorrent

w/ the error:

Couldn't set environment variable...

launching as:

/usr/bin/gksu -u usrname /usr/bin/qbittorrent

or

/usr/bin/gksu -u usrname /usr/bin/chromium

Other app.s seems to run OK.

Here is a talk trying to solve the problem:

Thank You for Your job.
