Comment 7 for bug 592842

I was going to file a bug about appmenu not working with programs launched as another user (not necessarily root) with gksu. Would I be right in thinking that solving this current bug would solve that?

As I'm about to prove, I'm no programmer or software designer, but here's a possible solution to David Barth's second concern: In cssm, there is a module (Title Bar Info) that puts the word "ROOT:" in the window title of root apps. At present, appmenu (or the panel?) does not reflect this i.e. it doesn't show "ROOT:". If you could find a way to "grab" this info from the window title (and switch on the module, which isn't on by default, and may not even be installed until cssm is) this might be a workable solution.
