Description Vincent Untz 2011-08-04 18:15:20 UTC

If you start yast in gnome-shell, you can see that it is not associated with the right .desktop file.

That's because gnomesu doesn't forward the GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE and GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE_PID variable to its child. In addition, we need some hack since gnomesu is called from xdg-su (so the pid will be the one of xdg-su).

Can switching to PolicyKit help it?

I'm well aware of the pkexec status, and unfortunately we can't switch to it right now -- it needs some love, and more importantly, it's too late in the cycle...

12.1 release is out of support. As it is indicated by upstream changelog this was fixed in git we can consider it fixed on current OpenSUSE too.
