Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Ubuntu 10.10, gnome-control-center 1:2.32.0-0ubuntu2

When I click Install Font in gnome-font-viewer, the button changes to Install Failed. If I run gnome-font-viewer with gksudo, the font installs successfully. I expect gnome-font-viewer to know that installing fonts requires root, since that's the case in a fresh Ubuntu installation, and to use gksudo accordingly.

Unless, of course, it's already running as root.
