2009-03-05 02:06:54 nglnx gksu: statusexplanation Confirming this. Trying to run an application as another (non-root) user gksudo -u anotherusername fails due to the way gksudo sets permissions * on the file -rw------- 1 originaluser originaluser 123 2009-03-05 01:44 .Xauthority * and on the directory: drwx------ 2 originaluser originaluser 4096 2009-03-05 01:30 libgksu-abcde The description of this package says: "...It is useful to menu items or other graphical programs that need to ask a user's password to run another program as another user..." So it should be reasonable to expect that this package would work to execute a program as a another "non root user".
