Gksu prompts for Administrator (root) password even if it is set to sudo

I can't seem to fix it... I think it's not reading gconf.
Can you not use gksudo?
(many gconf things are not read in gnome 3 which uses the gsettings thingy)
I can use gksu and gksudo from the console but I need to be able to run apps from the Activities overview (I use GNOME shell).
The gksu from console works (see screenshot 1)
but running gksu by running a administrative application from the Applications view (i.e. synaptic) requests the Root password.
(BTW the gksu invoked from the console looks diffrent from when I start a admin app, so maybe it's not gksu(do)..
Bump
A bump after just one day?
I don't understand why you specifically need gksu and not gksudo. What exactly are you trying to do?
gksudo is a symbolic link to gksu. They are the exact same command:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gksudo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 mars 8 00:09 /usr/bin/gksudo -> gksu
But, yes: "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Heh, pretty confusing. I thought they would be like su and sudo...
