Fluxbuntu 7.10 RC: Menu items asking for root password.

[pierce.jason]

These all ask for a root password. Should probably use gksudo or something like that.

Apps>System>Admin>alsaconf
Apps>System>Admin>pppconfig
Apps>System>Task selector

It seems that these two are the actual broken ones.

Apps>System>Admin>alsaconf
Apps>System>Task selector

This one is a terminal based application, and executes with sudo just fine. The two above are actually requesting the root password, and since there isn't a root password by default, they obviously can't be executed.

Apps>System>Admin>pppconfig

On my install pppconfig trys to use `su` once the terminal terminal has been brought up, rather than sudo. Needs to use sudo to avoid requiring the non-existant root password.

About to execute /usr/sbin/pppconfig.
This command needs root privileges to be executed.
Using su...
Enter root passwd at prompt.

This is when accessing through the Apps menu.
