Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
When you press "Alt+F2" you get a little dialogue where you can enter manually the name of a GUI program you want to execute.
There is an auto-completion feature that greatly helps in entering the program name, and I love it.
The problem I noticed is that when the program I want to run requires administrative rights, I need to enter "gksudo" before the name of the program. The problem I experience is that auto-completion works for "gksudo", but NOT for the program name :-(
I think the problem might be that the auto-completion only works for the first word you type. It would be good if it could work for all the words, or at least if it could "special case" gksudo.

It completes the command name, setting as a feature request to support the gksu,gksudo special case
