This is still needed with gnome-panel 2.18 and gnome-system-tools 2.18. I'm attaching the patch currently used by Ubuntu, is it okay to commit? gnome-applets, gnome-nettool and other packages calling gnome-system-tools seems to already use gksu, or have already been patched, leaving only gnome-panel. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
