Bug Description

ethereal uses gksu instead of gksudo for root menuitem

ethereal uses gksu instead of gksudo for root menuitem. since ubuntu has no root pwd by default, this will always fail unless the root pwd is set by the user. It is also confusing to have some dialogs require the root password while others require the user password (and a bad idea for both passwords to be the same!)

Changed in ethereal:
