Bug Description

When sudo -k is run, gksudo should also require authentication the next time it is used.
An alternative to this would be a -k or equivalent option in gksu(do) itself.

I guess this might not be a 'bug' but I think it is an issue personally.

This is fixed on Edgy at least. Executing sudo -k makes gksu/gksudo prompt user's password next time it's used.
