Bug Description
I have noticed that if I start a program using gksu or run a program that needs
root privaliges and I then open the menu whilst it is starting up I get a
warning saying: "Cannot grab mouse, someone may be eavesdropping on your
session". I am sure that unless the laws of physics have changed no one can
watch a session of any variety if I am not connected to the internet.
I am running
Ubuntu 5.10
Linux version 2.6.12-10-686 (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 3.4.5 20050809
(prerelease) (Ubuntu 3.4.4-6ubuntu8)) #1 Fri Nov 18 12:09:04 UTC 2005
My system is also completely up to date.

This is a screen shot of the bug in action on my computer. I have been able to
replicate the bug many times so I do think it is a one off thing.
