That might happen to sudo, and is much easier, I think. Security
is also on the user, so if I'm gone buying Passatempo I'll lock
my screen before leaving. That's what I do when I get away from the
keyboard.
That is not a problem with gksud at all, but with 'remember
the password for X time'. I think it is a valid worry, but
the solution is teaching the user.
