Description Christian Strahl 2013-07-13 21:29:44 UTC 
backintime needs x11-libs/gksu to start "Back In Time (root)".

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-15 22:25:11 UTC 
I see the point, but it's possible to run backintime, USE="-gnome -kde", from cmdline, and as root, not needing gksu (and the gconf dep it pulls in).

So I'm reluctant to add it w/o a proper use flag, suggestions?

(An example from /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
xfce-extra/xfce4-taskmanager:gksu - Build against x11-libs/libgksu to provide "Run as root" option in the application's menu)
