I think we can keep this bug open. I explain why.

First point: launch

Current behavior:
You select in the menu a admin tool, for instance "User and Groups".
A dialog appears and ask : "Please enter you password to run users-admin", "OK",
"Cancel"

Expected behavior:
You select in the menu a admin tool, for instance "User and Groups".
A dialog appears and ask : "Please enter you password to run User and Groups",
"OK", "Cancel"

Second point: password error

Current behavior:
You type a wrong password (for instance ***** instead of *****), then click on OK.
The dialog is closed.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing. (the computer is broken ?)
Nothing.
A error dialog appears and says "Failed to run users-admin" "Wrong password",
"Close"

Expected behavior:
You type a wrong password (for instance ***** instead of *****), then click on OK.
The dialog is not closed, a hourglass or a progressbas is displayed,
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
The dialog box is still not closed but now says "Failed to run User and Groups"
"Wrong password" "Retry your password" "OK" "Cancel"

Summary:
1 - use the application name instead of the program filename
2 - have a feedback when processing password
3 - propose the user to retry its password

Until these three points are not solved, I think gksu is not as friendly as he
ought to be. Therefore the bug should not be closed.
