[Bug 40309] Admin menus not visible with alternative admin groupname

Public bug reported:

I use a central authentication server (LDAP/Kerberos) on my Ubuntu
network.

For each machine, there's an admin group in ldap which I put in sudoers
instead of the admin group.

This way, I can give LDAP users admin access to certain boxes.

This worked very well in Breezy, but in Dapper the admin section of the
menu shows only those entries you are allowed to access.  But it seems
it uses membership op the admin group to determine this.

As I do not use that group, my admin users also do not see these
options.

** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
