Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-imagewriter

The menu item for ImageWriter currently uses gksudo. This leads to problems for users who have chosen to use a root password in stead of the standard ubuntu policy.

The solution would be to use gksu instead of gksudo.

---------------
usb-imagewriter (0.1.3-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Siegfried-Angel Gevattder Pujals ]
  * debian/control:
     - Move website to Homepage field.
     - Add a Dependency on python-glade2 (LP: #370297).
     - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
  * share/applications/imagewriter.desktop:
     - Use "gksu" instead of "gksudo" (LP: #376427).
  * debian/po, debian/rules, debian/install, debian/control:
     - Install all translations available on Launchpad.
  * Fix debian/watch, and little changes to debian/imagewriter.1.

  [ Mike Szczys ]
  * Applied patch to handle spaces in image path (LP: #366607)
     - lib/imagewriter.py: line 101: encapsulated source in double
       quotes so that it can be used with "ls -l" and "dd" commands
       even if the path includes spaces.

Glad to see this was fixed, but let's not count this as a paper cut so we can leave room for another one to be fixed! :)
