Bug Description
Select "Root Terminal" in the GNOME menu.
Type an incorrect password in the gksudo dialog.
The displayed error message reads:
"Failed to run /usr/bin/
Child terminated with 1 status"
It should explain that the cause of the error is an incorrect password instead
of some internal error in x-terminal-
"Failed to run /usr/bin/
Incorrect password"
If possible, there should be a specific error message for the "Root Terminal"
because root has no password of itself by default:
"Failed to run a root terminal: incorrect password"
