Package: gnome-system-monitor
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: important

The current gksu integration is broken:
2.28.x aborts with an X Window System error
3.x will segfault (libgksu is a GTK2 lib)

gnome-system-monitor should use PolicyKit for proper integration into
the desktop environment.
In https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491462 davidz suggested to
use pkexec to call the helper scripts.
