As per a discussion with David Jurenka, the underlying problems
associated with this bug are still there. ThinkFinger does mostly work
(although gksu will only ask for your password, your fingerprint can
also be given), but it has to violate PAM's policy against threading.
Other fingerprint modules that do follow the standards don't work. The
gksu developers have pretty much given up on fixing gksu's innate
problems and are now only working on gksu-polkit.

Therefore, this bug should really be marked as Won't Fix, but since only
a member of ubuntu-dev can do that, for now I'll put it back to
Confirmed.

** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => Confirmed

modifying PAM configuration could break gksu
