Bug Description
sudo doesn't keep the XAUTHORITY env var in Precise. GUI apps fail to start with:
No protocol specified
Upon adding XAUTHORITY manually to env_keep in /etc/sudoers, gui works, (but is still a nasty bland theme, not uniform with the user's current theme, guess lightdm has something to do it)
