I know what you're referring to, but your mails are sometimes really
hard to follow. And reading that bug (or knowing sudo) it's pretty
obvious that "nopasswd" played no role here.

Some Flyspray tips: I usually check "Search in comments", "Search
details" and "All Statuses" when searching and then sort
chronologically (ID/Opened/Last Edited). Also, in this case 'gksu'
would've been the proper package name. But as that package didn't get
touched for three weeks, the most likely culprit had to be sudo anyway.

The time when I was active all day on bbs/irc/wiki giving free support
is long ago (2006-9), but I think the general consensus had always
been "bug first, talk later" ... dunno how others think about that
nowadays.

Regards,
Jens
