Comment 12 for bug 13731

You could open a bug against gnome-panel. gksu supports desktop files to extract application names. I switched the gksu calls in (not of) update-notifier, gdebi and gnome-app-install to the desktop file mode.

As Carthik already mentioned, I changed the messages in gksu to a hopefully more user friendly style. Furthermore I synced the messages in desktop mode and the default messages in gksu.

Gnome-panel could make use of KDE's setuid feature in the desktop files. At the moment we include the gksu call in the exec option of the menu items.

By the way the messages introduced by Ubuntu specfic patches can be translated through rosetta.

Sebastian
