The behavior of gksu and gksudo with pam_musclecard is identical to
Bug#15093.  I get the same behavior with pam_pkcs11 as well.  Both PAM
modules present prompts that differ from the usual as pam_krb5 describes
in Bug#15093.  Here's what I see from the command-line:

For pam_musclecard:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu xeyes
Please enter pin

For pam_pkcs11:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu xeyes
PIN for token Co

Per the other bug, if I run sudo with -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS, I get:

For pam_musclecard:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS xeyes
Please enter pin:

For pam_pkcs11:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ sudo -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS xeyes
PIN for token Common Access Card:

I note that an upstream bug was logged against sudo but there's been no
motion on it as far as I can tell.
