Description Vincent Untz 2010-08-09 18:24:58 UTC 
The code to find a su-like program is:

    su = g_find_program_in_path ("gksu");
    if  (!su)
        su = g_find_program_in_path ("kdesu");

It should really first check for xdg-su, and then try gksu, gnomesu and kdesu.
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2010-08-09 18:25:54 UTC 
Note that xdg-su and gnomesu need a -c option before the program to run.

Patch for this

Probably not the cleanest way to handle this, and untested, but this should work.
