;)

Nowadays it's more common to use "pkexec" instead of "gksu{do}". I
still prefer using "gksudo". Anyway, distros that by default come
without a root account should prefer "gksudo" over "gksu". Likely
somebody planed to switch to "pkexec" for the menu entry and has
forgotten to do it. Is gpared in the menu? If so, what happens if you
start gparted? Watching the menu entries with Alacarte or another menu
editor might be interesting. Is "gksu" used for all entries, that need
root privileges?
