Locale: en_US.UTF-8 $gksu id briefly shows a "Starting Administrativ..." tab on the bottom panel the first time. If I repeat the command immediately, the password prompt comes up. I see that there are updates available today - this is a laptop (A21 Thinkpad, 800Mhz, 128MB of RAM) that I generally only use on occassion, or for testing. So, if you'd like me to test something before, or during, installing the updates let me know. I'll wait until I hear back.
