<br>Package: gksu<br>Version: 2.0.0-8<br>Severity: normal<br><br><br><br>-- System Information:<br>Debian Release: 5.0.2<br> APT prefers proposed-updates<br> APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable')<br>
Architecture: i386 (i686)<br><br>Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)<br>Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8)<br>Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash<br><br><br><u>Analysis of the problem</u> -<br><br>
When using option - "K-menu > system > Users and Groups' > select 'root' from the list > click on 'Properties' > go to 'advance' tab'<br><br>The working directory of 'root' is set to '/home/root' when it should have been /'root' that renders Root Terminal, FireStarter (firewall), Synaptic useless as they can't find .conf files in '/home/root'.<br>
<u><br>Suggestion</u> -<br><br>Root directory should be set to '/root' & should NOT change every time the user logs into 'Users and Groups' panel.<br><br><br><br><br>Versions of packages gksu depends on:<br>
