Comment 48 for bug 200868

Calling something that works perfectly well a hack is nonsense. The perfectionists that keep claiming this have had plenty of time to fix this in the so called "right way" and it still hasn't been done. It is totally asinine to let this situation continue for two years when there is a perfectly simple solution. There is no legitimate reason at all for not using gksudo. To claim there is a "right way" to do this when it has been over a year and the so called "right way" is still waiting implementation, is laughable.
