gksu does not ask for specific password with libpam-otpw

[Riku Eskelinen]

Binary package hint: gksu

I'm using Natty and gksu does not prompt for specific password when libpam-otpw is being used.

What happens:
1. I launch f. ex. synaptic with "gksu synaptic"
2. Gksu asks for "Password".
3. I have no information of which password (out of the list of 280 passwords generated by otpw-gen) gksu wants. Fallback to normal unix password does not seem to work either.
4. Can't open application.

What should happen:
1. I launch f. ex. synaptic with "gksu synaptic"
2. Gksu asks for "Password 123".
3. I type the password in.
4. If it is correct, application should be launched. If it is incorrect, gksu should fall back to unix password.

Sudo and GDM, for example, seem to handle this correctly.
