gksu gives unhelpful error when wrong password entered

[David Johnson]

If the user enters an incorrect password, instead of a helpful "the password
wasn't correct" message, gksu says "Failed to run foo-bar as user root: Child
terminated with 1 status".

Thanks for your bugreport.

This problem is already fixed in the current development version of ubuntu
(called hoary).
It now says "Wrong password".

thanks,
