Bug#762960: gksu: hitting spacebar on "remember password" in the gksu window disables all further keyboard entry

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.2-6
Severity: normal

from gnome-shell, i selected "root terminal".  this launched

 gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator

This shows a dialog box that looks like:

----------------------

== Enter the administrative password ==


The application '/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator' lets you
modify essential parts of your system.

Password: [_                ]

[x] Remember password
  (x) Save for this session
  ( ) Save in the keyring

                             [ Cancel ] [ OK ]

----------------------


The keyboard focus is in the Password textentry.

If i hit tab to move the focus to "remember password" so that i can
uncheck it before entering the password, and then hit spacebar to
toggle the checkbox, the UI accepts no further keyboard input, and all i
can do is mouse to the "cancel" button.
