Hi,

YES! Sorry to shout but I use gksu frequently for both nautilus and 
gedit! I'm sure I'm not alone :)

This in my book at least would warrant a mention in the release notes!
And I know it's hard to update google but quite a few forums I have 
stumbled over use gksu in their answers (although it's worth noting how 
powerfull(er) tool it is and to have a idea of what you are doing / 
trying to achieve)

Just the two cents of someone who hasn't updated yet!!
