Wed 12 Sep 2007 09:32:04 PM UTC, original submission:  

The command passed to the dialogs in su_ask_password needs to get escaped, otherwise the following will happen:
$ LANG=C gksu '&'

(gksu:31720): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 3: Character ''' is not valid at the start of an entity name; the & character begins an entity; if this ampersand isn't supposed to be an entity, escape it as &amp;

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/133639 for the bug reported in Ubuntu.

I'll attach a patch against SVN trunk.
