Title:
  strange behavoir of menus in lightdm with gksu

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using lightdm on 11.10, I find that either I am confused by the behavior of gksu and menus or there is a bug somewhere. 
  Here's an example...

  From a terminal,
  $ gksu -u someotheruser firefox
  Tools/Addons, download and insert 'foxyproxy standard'. 
  Exit firefox
  $ gksu -u someotheruser firefox
  The Tools menu now contains sub-menu 'FoxyProxy Standard' as expected.
  Leave it running &, from another terminal,
  $ firefox
  Tools menu shows the FoxyProxy submenu, even though it is not installed for this user.

  Exit both firefox apps.

  $ firefox
  Tools menu nolonger has FoxyProxy (as it should not).
  $ gksu -u someotheruser firefox
  Tools menu nolonger has FoxyProxy (it should).

  This occurs when running lightdm.
  Due to a different bug (Bug #866083) I was forced to move back to gdm.
  In gdm, this behavoir is not seen and gksu/menus behave as expected.

  Looks like a lightdm bug to me.
