Replacing graphical sudo prompts with sudo command I'm trying to replace `gksudo`, `pkexec` and its ilk with `sudo`. However, I'm told that using `sudo <graphical_program>` is a bad idea. Would the following work as a decent replacement? sudo -H <graphical_program> Or do I have to do other things as well?

This post suggests that you're right (I never knew of that `--debug` option). However, `sudo -H` is one extra key press on the keyboard compared to `gksudo` ;-)
