After attempting to launch any gksu application (Synaptic, Update Manager, GParted, etc), no password prompt appears. Instead, an item titled "Starting Administrative..." appears on the taskbar and ultimately disappears. Sometimes, attempting to launch the applications a second time works. Other times, it does not.
Launching any of these applications in terminal - ex: sudo synaptic - seems to work perfectly well.

Instead, an item titled "Starting Administrative..." appears on the taskbar and ultimately disappears. Sometimes, launching the applications a second time works as expected. On other occasions, further attempts to launch the application only result in the same problem - no password prompt but a quiet failure of the application.
