2008-10-07 03:22:07 Hew None: statusexplanation To get a SRU, we need to find the specific fix that was made. After testing with g-s-m 2.22.3-0ubuntu2 (aka: the Hardy version) on Intrepid, I can report that this issue still does not occur! The fix is therefore in another package.. I'll try some more selective downgrading to Hardy versions, but I don't know how successful this will be. There is a lot of ground to cover. Marking this is Fix Released, but removing g-s-m as the package affected. You're right. This bug had disappeared with Intrepid, but now it's back again. Crashing only occurs when lowering the nice value still, so only when gksu is triggered. The upstream bug report suggested to change the gconf key /apps/gksu/disable-grab key to True, which correctly stops the crash from occuring (although gksu now has window decoration, another issue). Due to this, I am marking as also affecting gksu.
