Title:
  gksu handles quoted strings wrongly

Status in “gksu” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Reported upstream: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?40023

  To reproduce (based on http://askubuntu.com/a/288506/10371):

  Compare the first five commands:
  echo 'foo\ bar'
  sudo echo 'foo\ bar'
  gksudo -- echo 'foo\ bar'
  gksudo --su-mode -- echo 'foo\ bar'
  gksu --sudo-mode -- echo 'foo\ bar'

  To this:
  gksu -- echo 'foo\ bar'

  The last command prints "foo bar" rather than "foo\ bar" (excluding
  the quotes).
