Thanks, I have not considered this effect. The primary target was
Ubuntu where this bug does not apply. But essentially the gksudo
should have reverted to su-ing to root if sudo was not configured for
a user. I will file a wishlist bug on gksudo for that matter, but I am
not quite sure how to handle this situation now.
I *could* try to write a shellscript that would detect if a user has
sudo access and call gksu if he doesn't, but that would be quite an
ugly hack. That should really be in gksudo.
