I have the impression, that this problem is somehow related to sudos or gksus ability to resolve its own hostname. This Bug appeared for me after a fresh hardy install. I discovered that my Notebook was not able to resolve it's own hostname (somehow /etc/hosts got messed up) after fixing that gksu worked flawlessly again.
