When started in ROXTerm using the command

Code: Select all

sudo leafpad
Leafpad works as expected.

When started via gExec
Start-->Run-->Leafpad-->select as root
Leafpad opens without a menu or text editing area and cannot be closed without killing the app.

I've seen this and guess it is a bug with the run application or gksu or both.

ktsuss leafpad in a terminal works, as does su.

I found this report and it still doesn't seem to have been fixed.
