Use of gksudo/gksu in testcases for Xubuntu Desktop in Trusty Daily

[David Pires]

At http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/306/builds/55995/testcases/1585/results is required at some point the use of gksudo by the user.

Since gksudo is no longer packed with Xubuntu, all the testcases facing this issue have to be rewritten and gksudo should be replaced by the 'sudo -i' command, or alternatively, an indication alerting the user to the need of having to install the gksudo package to further proceed with the testcase.

+1. Let's remove gksudo anywhere we see it :-)

Done and merge proposed.

[Pasi Lallinaho (knome)]

I've rolled this back to 'gksudo' in the tracker, because 'sudo -i' isn't supposed to work either.

Changed root thunar to a non-root thunar command

Presently http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/306/builds/55995/testcases/1585/results still instructs testers to run sudo -i mousepad at application finder dialog, which doesn't work.

[Elfy (elfy)]

Let's remove references to any gksu/sudo.

Replace it with something like thunar /home
