(Get the code!)
BUGabundo, this appears not to be the "real fix".
The problem is, that gksu gets confused by an existing "&".
It expects an HTML entity, when an ampersand gets used.
Try:
$ LANG=C gksu '&'
(gksu:31720): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 3: Character ''' is not valid at the start of an entity name; the & character begins an entity; if this ampersand isn't supposed to be an entity, escape it as &
The following display the correct dialog, but fails when being executed:
gksu "sh -c 'echo 1 && echo 2'"
The Gtk-WARNING seems to be the cause/hint, why an inappropriate dialog gets used.
