No - this wasn't the issue. I installed the new version of Stormpkg and the gtksu window didn't appear when I ran it as a regular user. The idea is that gtksu allows you to enter your root password and then proceeds to run Stormpkg. I also found that Stormpkg was giving me no feedback when it went on-line to do apt-get update or apt-get dist-upgrade. Deleting my ~/.gnome directory solved the problem. Removing the relevant home directory when you upgrade is the standard advice from the Mozilla developers - it shouldn;t be necessary with Gnome, but in my case I have gone from an early version of Gnome right up to the latest Helix version in Woody with the same ~/Gnome files so I am not surprised it was throwing a few wobblies!! -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux
