[Bug 209084] Re: no run as root in menu in hardy

[Hewus]

Thank you Nathan for your patches! Now that I think about it, I'm not
sure which would be better. The gksu fix would avoid the need for the
extra menu package on gnome systems, and essentially revert back to the
old behaviour. I assume the reasoning behind Debian changing to menu in
the first place was to support the other desktop environments (eg. KDE).
In this case, it's probably best to replace the existing recommend for
gksu to menu (I assume there would then be no need for gksu?).
Disclaimer: I'm not a developer, so if I'm way off the mark, feel free
to completely discard my suggestions :-).

Mathieu: You're right. This would be nice to include for 8.04.1, since
it's a regression from previous releases. Wireshark as root is broken
as-is, so there shouldn't be a problem getting a SRU for this small fix.
