gksudo displays the program path rather than the name of the program that the user clicked on.

[Lakin Wecker]

Rather than file a bug against every program which is run by gksudo from the
gnome menu system, I'll file this bug here and hope that someone who is more
familiar with where this should go.

Originally I would have said that gksudo should do more to figure out the
'program name', but I'm not so sure anymore. gksudo provides a --message
program option which allows users to override the default message for running a
program. Perhaps the /usr/share/applications/*.desktop should include a custom
message for each program similar to: "To run Ubuntu's Language Selector program,
you must enter your password."
