Not really a tip or trick.

I have been looking at ktsuss. It looks like a good replacement for gksu. It does not rely on any gnome libraries so it means a little less weight. Less is better especially when it comes to gnome.

I don't know if I mentioned this before but I hate gnome!

How is this working for you? Any problems of note? Or advantages? I like having options:)

I don't know if it's a drop in replacement but it seems to work just fine. I will have to see if I can totally replace gksu.
