Bug#266832: libgksuui1.0-0: please return a different errorcode when gksu fails to run

Package: libgksuui1.0-0
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if gksu returned a zero exit code after a successfull
run and a non-zero exit code when the user clicks cancel or enters a
wrong password. I dont't know if this has any security implications,
but if not, please add this feature :)

Apparently su itself provides this, so it should be safe?

thanks,
 Michael
