I have the same problem in Ubuntu 11.04 (x86). Launching the application from the dash accomplishes nothing.

I went to /usr/share/applications/lshw-gtk.desktop and looked at what command the launcher executes:

su-to-root -X -c lshw-gtk

Now, I have never seen "su-to-root" (I am a newbie) so I changed it to "gksudo lshw-gtk", which is what I wanted it to do, and now it works.
