Comment 10 for bug 466088

Upstream we use gksu, it is changed to su-to-root in the ubuntu packages,
however it seems to be a very neat solution for a common encountered
problem.
Are there any strong arguments not to switch upstream, eg what is the
availability of su-to-root on other distributions, like Suse, or Fedora, or
is it a specific ubuntu implementation?
