Bug Description

If you use kubuntu-desktop, and don't have anything else installed, restricted-manager won't start because gksu is missing, if you replace gksudo with kdesu in /usr/bin/restricted-manager the program will start fine, otherwise it will fail silently.

Thank you for your bug report. Your bug remains valid, but I have changed the title to better reflect the issue. If you want to use Restricted Manager in Kubuntu, I recommend using the restricted-manager-kde application, which will be available in the upcoming Gutsy Gibbon release (it is already present in it). It blends nicely into KDE and it has all the features that the GNOME version has.

I'm with the same issue in Ubuntu. gksudo or gksu silently fail. I don't know if sudo can run it, but when I try the error messages I get are in the attachment.

I have the same issue in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10. I just upgraded Gutsy Gnome over the previous Feisty install and now Restricted managers fails silently. I have attached the error message printed when started from command line.

restricted-manager has been superseded by 'jockey' in Ubuntu Hardy (a complete redesign and rewrite), and thus this bug is not relevant in Hardy any more.
