gksu is not reading /etc/environment

[Carlos Vásquez (ClearCorp)]

Binary package hint: gksu

I have some environment variables defined in /etc/environment.

But if I call some applications using gksu or gksudo, the variables are not in the environment of the application.

If I open a terminal, and do a sudo or su (after setting root pass) the variables are correctly exported to the new environment.

I have tried with gksu -l <command> and gksu -k <command>. The first one gives the same result, the second, crashes with "Failed to get the session bus" and "Failed to summon the GConf demon".

I am using Ubuntu Lucid 64bits, with gksu version 2.0.2-2ubuntu2.
