Hello, this patch looks good to me, but after install, it doesn't works..

I think gtksuwrap should be setup with 'setuid', and gtksu should look
it through PATH or under '/run/setuid-programs'.  Also this program
lookup executables in '_PATH_STDPATH' (and '_PATH_DEFPATH') from glibc's
'shadow.h' and 'paths.h', they're defined as
'/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin' and '/usr/bin:/bin', so we'd better
modify 'paths.h' in glibc or modify gtksu to use a suitable 'PATH'.
