This has been fixed some releases ago. Thanks for the bug report!

Same bug on Fedora Core 5.

My work-around was to create a symbolic link from /usr/X66R6/bin/xauth that points to /usr/bin/xauth (where Fedora Core 5 installs xauth).

I found out that Ubuntu actually tracks bugs its GKSu package itself. Maybe "Malone" will duplicate this bug report. I apologize for any inconvenience.

This bug applies to Ubuntu's "Dapper Draker" release and maybe other distributions as well. To reproduce this bug (in Dapper), make sure that GKsu runs in su mode (in my case this is intentional):
gconftool-2 --set /apps/gksu/sudo-mode --type boolean false

If you try to start gksu, it complains about a missing /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth and some graphical programs can't be started. Dapper's xauth is now located at /usr/bin. GKSu should use the paths in $PATH to locate xauth.

In case you're wondering that I file a bug in the official bug tracker: The people at Ubuntu do not track gksu bugs themselves. They suggest to use the official tracker instead.
