Bug#776344: gksu: leafpad doesn't work (no menu, etc) when opened via gksu

[Igor Novosad]

Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.2-9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've tried to open leafpad as a root via gksu, but leafpad was not responding 
(did not have the menu) untill I killed gksu using Task Manager.
On the other hand launching leafpad from root terminal was fine.
