sudo and accessibility

[George Kraft]

I'm a Fedora user and I just installed Ubuntu 6.05 on a test system so
that I could take a look at it.  It appears that the end user does not
have the root password, so the end-user must sudo to do any privileged
work.  Is that correct?

There is an at-spi, gnome-session, and gdm set of patches to enable
accessibility for sudo run applications.

Could someone validate the above referenced Gnome patches on Ubuntu,
then comment positively on them in the bug reports.  The Gnome 2.16 code
freeze is approaching; however, this code has not been committed by the
maintainers yet.
