Hi All,

Forgive me if leafpad is not an Xfce project.  I am reporting it here as "leafpad" is in your EPEL repo (see above).

If I run Leafpad from the command line as root, it works perfectly.

If I run Leafpad from gksu, I get a gray box, no pull down menus, nothing.

    gksu -u root "/usr/bin/leafpad" 

The hang is removed if you give leaf pad a parameter:
    gksu -u root "/usr/bin/leafpad X"

But, the top of the window gets labeled "X"
 
The following work around gives "untitled" on the top:

    gksu -u root "echo "" | /usr/bin/leafpad" 

I do not have this problem running other programs with gksu

Many thanks,
-T
