Bug Description
I've set up encrypted $HOME with pam_mount. This works well. The problem starts when gksudo asks for my password to run network-admin. It never accepts my password.
The password is actually a passphrase. It contains spaces, but no non-ascii characters. It is about 30 characters. To me it looks like it does not accept new characters after the input pane is filled.

Thanks for your bugreport.
I can't reproduce the problem here. I tried a passphrase with 62 charackters and it works fine.
Cheers,
Michael
