gksudo problem (bug?)

Hi,

Gksudo doesn't work on my system when it needs to ask for a password (if I do
"sudo echo; gksudo foobar" it works). I think this is caused by the options
lecture=always and lecture_file=/etc/issue which make sudo output /etc/issue
before asking for a password.

I'm not familliar with how gksudo works, but this shouldn't be too hard to fix.

TIA,
David Mandelberg

P.S. I'm not sure if this belongs on -devel or -user, so I'm sending to both.
