Package: linhdd Version: 0.4-2 Severity: wishlist Usertag: su-to-root gksu-su-to-root
Hello maintainer, While searching for desktop files on my system using gksu instead of su-to-root I've found linhdd containing one. It would be nice if you patched the .desktop files so they use su-to-root instead. Why? Quoting Daniel Baumann from #453931: "0. Desktop Integration It doesn't make sense that e.g. a KDE application calls (hardcoded) kdesu when beeing used on a Gnome environment. It should use su-to-root, which will automatically call either gksu (default) or kdesu (when beeing launched under KDE) for better integration into the running desktop environment. 1. Live Integration On Debian Live systems, we can not use su, but sudo (avoid setting a root password for security and usability reasons). If all desktop entries and menu files would use su-to-root, we can overwrite the default usage of su on one central place (/etc/su-to-rootrc resp. ~/.su-to-rootrc) and be done with it. Currently, an application on a live system which requires root rights but calls kdesu or gsku instead of su-to-root uses therefore su, which won't work, and thus, the user ends up with a non-working application."
