Comment 8 for bug 949265

Hi everyone,

Is this bug solved? I've juste upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and neither gksu nor gksudo work with the option --user: both always answer that selected user password is wrong though this user belongs to sudo group.

An example:
Session opened with user "johan" that doesn't belong to sudo group and a try to open Thunar with user "administrateur" (member of the sudo group):

johan@johan-backup:~$ gksu -d -u administrateur thunar
No ask_pass set, using default!
xauth: /tmp/libgksu-KKWb4O/.Xauthority
STARTUP_ID: gksu/thunar/3548-0-johan-backup_TIME2551651

cmd[1]: -H
cmd[2]: -S
cmd[3]: -p

cmd[5]: -u
cmd[6]: administrateur
cmd[7]: --
cmd[8]: thunar

Yeah, we're in...

3 password trials and that always fails with "Wrong password".
