[Bug 654914] [NEW] "Become root" causes the activity to close

[Luke Faraone]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sugar-terminal-activity

Steps to reproduce: 
 1. Start terminal activity
 2. Press "become root"
 3. Terminal execs (I think) "su - root"
 4. Hit the "return" key
 5. Terminal closes and the "save activity" dialog entry appears. 

At step 3, "sudo" should have been run. When/if the command fails, a segfault should not be the result.
