gnome-format doesn't launch using dash on Ubuntu 11.10

The application "gnome-format" doesn't launch when using dash.

Steps:
1. Install package gnome-format on Ubuntu 11.10
2. Click on "dash home", type gnome-format.
3. Click on gnome-format, nothing happens

Possible workaround: Using "main menu", if you change the command "su-to-root -c gnome-format" to "gksudo gnome format" the application launches (with root privileges).

There is no problem when you start the application from a terminal.
