Title:
  Please remove in casper-a11y-enable script the add_sudoers_file
  function

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Dear Developers,

  In casper-a11y-enable script the add_sudoers_file applied settings block gksu and sudo GUI application usage.
  This function puts following contents in /etc/sudoers.d/a11y-sudo file:
  # To allow accessibility in GTK to work with sudo.
  Defaults        env_keep = "ORBIT_SOCKETDIR XDG_SESSION_COOKIE GTK_MODULES"

  I reported this issue in Ubuntu Accessibility list few months ago, because for example both sudo gedit and gksu gedit commands doesn't working if access=v3 boot parameters are used. Yesterday again reported this issue some users in Orca List.
  If the user remove the /etc/sudoers.d/a11y-sudo file,
