Bug Description
OS: Ubuntu 17.10
gksu: 2.0.2-9ubuntu1
If you run:
$ gksu echo foo
the focus is still on the terminal, and if a user types their password quickly it will be displayed in clear text in the terminal in the background.
Moreover, clicking with the mouse on the password field doesn't focus it. A workaround to that is to manually do an <alt>+<tab>.

gksu is not installed by default since a while, as it is deprecated. The latest update was 25 Dec 2014.
pkexec is now used, but change will happen again because of wayland being default.
