I believe I have found the solution to users that have upgraded from
previous versions to Lucid:

arab80ps reported above that typing "gksu natuilus" and entering the
wrong password returned the following for him:

GNOME_SUDO_PASSSorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

For me, it returns:

GNOME_SUDO_PASSGNOME_SUDO_PASSSorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

Thus changing line 14 of the "27_sudo_wrong_pwd_check.patch" that was
recently added to libgksu from:

+      if (g_str_has_prefix (buffer, "Sorry, try again.") ||
g_str_has_prefix (buffer, "GNOME_SUDO_PASSSorry, try again."))

to

+      if (g_str_has_prefix (buffer, "Sorry, try again.") ||
g_str_has_prefix (buffer, "GNOME_SUDO_PASSGNOME_SUDO_PASSSorry, try
again.") || g_str_has_prefix (buffer, "GNOME_SUDO_PASSSorry, try
again."))

and recompiling and reinstalling the resulting deb fixes the issue for
me.  I have tested this fix on a fresh lucid install as well, and the
fix works there too.

Since this issue at present is a regression for those upgrading to Lucid
(and presumably Maverick as well), it is my hope that this trivial fix
could be incorporated officially ASAP, provided it can be confirmed by
others as fixing the problem.
