Bug#652506: gksu: Shift-Tab causes gksu window to lose focus

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.2-6
Severity: important

I tried to start synaptic from gnome-shell; a gksu window appeared to
prompt for the root password.  I pressed Tab, then Space to un-check
the 'Remember password' check box.  Then I pressed Shift+Tab, and nothing
appeared to happen.  I clicked in the 'Password:' text-entry box,
which appeared to place the focus there, then typed the root password
and pressed Enter; nothing appeared to happen.

Then I clicked 'Cancel', and saw that I had entered my root password into
my IRC client and sent it as a PM.  This behaviour is undesirable.
