This has been dealt with. You should not be getting lock ups like those.

Just upgraded to the new release and now the password prompt no longer stays below windows that have always-on-top enabled. The video and audio still gets paused however it is no longer such a big problem.

Good job!

Open up something like totem or tvtime or any other application that plays video files. Start up a video stream and then try to start an application with gksu. What happens is that the video stream gets frozen/locked up as well as the rest of your desktop. If yo are playing an audio file (say an mp3) the output also gets locked. Untill you get rid of the password promt your system becomes compleatelly unresponsive. This is deffinitelly not the way that a pasword promt should work. Since the box does not alwasy show up on top off all other windows this bug is also extremely annoying. I don't know much about the way gksu was written but gnomesu has all these problems fixed so maybe their code might help in fixing gksu.

My general thoughts about gksu are that it should alway pop up on top of all applications regardless of weather or not always on top is enabled and it should also allow the password prompt to be treated as a regular gtk windows object i.e. it can be moved arround and does not lock/limit access to any part of the desktop. After all your desktop is supposed to fully support multitasking.
