Bug Description

Binary package hint: gksu

Steps to reproduce:
1. open any X terminal
2. type gksu mousepad (mousepad application will be run with root privileges)
3. CTRL-C in terminal (gksu terminates, mousepad remains opened)

In my opinion killing gksu should kill mousepad also.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
