FS#183 - No access to programs requiring root password

When I start for example the Elive-panel, and try to access items requiring the root passwd, gksu pops up, prompting me for the password, and upon entering it, it just goes back to the elive panel without anything else happening.

If i first fire up the elive-panel as root in the terminal, everything works fine - and I can configure the system.

Starting the panel from terminal without root privileges prints out this, as gksu disappears after trying to launch a program.

(gksu:30556): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: “experience”,
Xlib: connection to “:0.0” refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Its a bug of gksu, we are looking for a better candidate replacement of gksu, but i can have a solution for this :)

Please try from a terminal with root:

apt-get update ; apt-get install gksu

I have hacked the version of gksu of Gem, tell me if the problem is solved with this update
