Thank You, again. The reason is my belief - it is risky - may because
I'm not as good expert as You do.

Camaleón, I think we are going in wrong direction here - I just have
tried w/ chromium running w/ gksu by newly created user - You'll be
surprised - in the user's home dir. there is no .config dir. at all !
All gksu has created are:
.dbus .gconf .gconfd .gksu.lock
which contents seems to me similar - differing in numbers only - like
diver IDs.
Therefore, I suppose that something else has influence on the gksu
behavior - as I said before the problem user is long existing user
(account) and therefore a lot of diver settings have been stored over
time - effecting the gksu. - My opinion. But filling its home dir.
anew, loosing all the settings, I suppose unwise - rather I would
neglect using gksu for the user for those 2 problematic app.s unless we
will find here some solution (besides running as root :) .
>I would like to see a good reason for it but I'm not going to insist.
Probably, simply paranoia.
