Some questions:
We really need a daemon?
The client<->daemon communication will be automatic? Ex: If the daemon is up,
gksu_ask_passwd("bleh", "blih") will returns without displaying a message
(because the lib can get the password from the daemon)?
Will be possible to utilize the lib without executing the daemon?
20 seconds? Too little, a daemon that keeps the password for a few seconds will
be useless. Maybe 15 minutes...? (sudo's default timeout)
We really need a daemon? And the KISS principle...?
