command arguments confusion

[Amnon Aaronsohn]

gksudo doesn't stop processing options after it reaches the command in the argument list. For example, 'gksudo ls -l' doesn't run 'ls -l' because the -l is considered to be an argument to gksudo.

[Amnon Aaronsohn (bla-cs)]

Note that it could break applications that rely on the current behavior.

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

From the manpage:

NOTE
       Note that <command> and all its arguments should be passed as one single argument to gksu just like one would to when using su.

[Amnon Aaronsohn (bla-cs)]

OK, so I think gksu should refuse to accept a command as multiple arguments.

[Amnon Aaronsohn (bla-cs)]

refuse to accept command as multiple arguments. show an error dialog and exit.
