Bug Description

To reproduce this bug, make sure that GKsu runs in su mode (in my case this is intentional):
gconftool-2 --set /apps/gksu/sudo-mode --type boolean false

If you try to start gksu, it complains about a missing /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth and some graphical programs can't be started. Dapper's xauth is now located at /usr/bin. GKSu should use $PATH to locate xauth.
