Bug Description
Urgh, it seems gksu is no longer included in Raring, so when time comes in Checkbox to prompt for the sudo password, it falls back to doing so on the terminal. This is not ideal since if Checkbox is not run via a terminal it won't be possible to get the password at all. Either way it's not very user friendly.
