Should be fixed in libgksu's trunk (rev. 718).

Will be in the next release.

gksu appears to exit as soon as the program it started exits. If this program
had children, they terminate. gksu should continue running until the children
the program it runs terminate... or at least until they stop using its X
session.

Steps to reproduce:
1. gksu -u someuser liferea (a feed reader app)
2. Open a liferea blog entry (this starts firefox)
3. Exit liferea

Actual results:
Firefox terminates with the liferea process

Expected results:
Firefox should continue running until it too is terminated by the user

Does this happen every time?
Yes
