Bug Description

An error in the translation (b> in stead of <b>) leads to the Norwegian translation of the gksudo prompt to ask for the *root* password, not the user password. I have updated the translation, but I can not make it the official translation. Please update this for the next release of the Norwegian translations. It can be very confusing for newcomers to Ubuntu.

This is in the latest version, Edgy. I have corresponded with people on the Norwegian translator team.

This translation (notice missing <):
----------------
b><big>Skriv inn passordet for å utføre administrative
oppgaver</big></b>

Programmet '%s' lar deg endre viktige komponenter i ditt system.
----------------
(Enter password to administer your system ...)

Leads to this error:
----------------
(gksudo:12007): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to
error parsing markup: Feil på linje 1 tegn 81: Element «b» ble lukket,
men aktivt åpent element er «markup»
----------------
(Element <b> was closed, but the active element was <markup>)

The program now asks for the superuser password in stead of the user password
