gutsy gnome-at-properties: no gksu/disable-grab option per gui in gnome-at-properties

[Francesco Fumanti]

A user that does its typing with an onscreen keyboard is not able to enter the password into the gksu dialogue, because it is a modal dialogue.

In Feisty, there was a checkbox in the Assistive Technology settings that was called "Password dialogues as floating windows" and that transformed the gksu dialogue into a modeless dialogue by setting the gconf key "/apps/gksu/disable-grab" to true.

Please, add such a checkbox to gnome-at-properties of gutsy.

Meanwhile, users can do the same by typing the following into a terminal:

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/gksu/disable-grab" --type bool "true"

not an upstream bugzilla bug

[Chris Jones (tortoise)]

As mentioned in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468556 this patch shouldn't go upstream at the moment but we do need it.
