set /apps/gksu/disable-grab true on v2, v3, m2

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

The line:
 gct -s -t bool /apps/gksu/disable-grab true

did not get applied during the fixing of bug 65297.

This line prevents gksudo from grabbing focus, which causes problems for blind users and users of on-screen keyboards.

It should be fixed in Feisty, though the problem is also known in gnome upstream so we may get a fix from there that is preferable.

This bug serves as a reminder.

There bis also a tick box in gnome-at-prefs (the Ubuntu Edgy version) so I'll mark this low priority.

  * Hack around keyboard configuration not being done until after the keymap
    is set by having /etc/init.d/usplash reconfigure the console
    (LP: #68487).
  * Disable pam_lastlog on the console if doing autologin (LP: #126800).

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * scripts/casper-bottom/30accessibility &
    ubiquity-hooks/30accessibility:
    - Prevent gksu from grabbing keyboard focus for the v2, v3, and m1
      accessibility profiles. (LP: #67172)
  * Start Orca when a Braille device is configured from choosing the
    Braille option in the Accessibility menu. (Partially fixes Launchpad
    bug #122024)
  * Re-enable desktop sounds for the blindness accessibility profile, as
    eSpeak should be able to speak alongside audio playback.
