Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The menu file supplied with gksu puts long english textual descriptions
of each program in the hints field. The hints field is supposed to be
used for keywords. When hints are turned on in the menu system, large
menus can be broken down into sub menus using the hints.

So, with the provided menu file, the following can be created by the
menu system (with hints turned on)

Apps -> System -> Opens a dialog where you can type a command to be run \
                  as a given user. -> Run as different user (GKsu)
Apps -> System -> Runs an X terminal application. Uses GKsu to ask the \
                  password. -> X-Terminal as root (GKsu)

I've changed the hints to 'Change User' which seemed to be the most
generic and descriptive hint I could think of. The following menu
structure thus results:

Apps -> System -> Change User -> Run as different user (GKsu)
                              -> X-Terminal as root (GKsu)

Attached is the entire menu file; if you really prefer a patch just
shout.
