That's very good to know, thanks.

>> SYNOPSIS
>> gksu
>>
>> gksu [-u <user>] [options] <command>
>>
>> gksudo [-u <user>] [options] <command>
>>
>> DESCRIPTION
>> This manual page documents briefly gksu and gksudo
>>
>> gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo. Their primary purpose is to run graphical com‐
>> mands that need root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly.
>>
>> Notice that all the magic is done by the underlying library, libgksu. Also notice that the library will
>> decide if it should use su or sudo as backend using the /apps/gksu/sudo-mode gconf key, if you call the gksu
>> command. You can force the backend by using the gksudo command, or by using the --sudo-mode and --su-mode
>> options.
>>
>> If no command is given, the gksu program will display a small window that allows you to type in a command to
>> be run, and to select what user the program should be run as. The other options are disregarded, right now,
>> in this mode.
