Bug Description
Hello,
Gufw should show its status (active / not active) even before user unlocks the dialog. Now I have to unlock the dialog with password to see its status. Of course I could use the ufw from command line.
Why cannot gufw show its real state when user opens the window?
$ sudo gufw
The widgets and controls are disabled but they can still show text and checkmarks.

Hi! Because it's a secure option that only an admin user can view the status :)
One point: use $ gufw, without sudo ;)
Best regards and thanks!
