Bug Description

Binary package hint: sudo

I try to do "sudo nautilus" or "sudo totem", but after I type my password, nothing happen. I don't have any error message. All seems to be normal, except that no application is launch.
It's work for application like synaptic, update-manager or gedit.
Totem and nautilus work normally without sudo.

Use gksu nautilus (or perhaps gksu 'dbus-launch nautilus', though I haven't tested this latter).

Sorry for the duplicate :( And gksu don't work. I'll wait for the patch :)

You should use "sudo dbus-launch app" (look at #71248)
