Question #77859 on gksu in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+question/77859

MMlosh posted a new comment:
Sorry, this is not synaptic bug.

Shell output of "gksu synaptic": (6x the same)
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session)

=> gksu was probably unable to read it's config file and that it should
behave as sudo.

It was cause by missing "dbus-launch", after installing package
"dbus-x11" it works now without problems.

Should this be a bug? (package "gksu" does not depend on "dbus") OR I
just can't install "gnome-desktop", because I don't have Gnome/KDE?
