I have the exact same issue on Feisty + Nvidia legacy driver + Xgl + Compiz

If I instead run Xorg + Metacity, the issue is gone.

My workaround is CTRL+ALT+F1 to switch to a tty and do killall gksu. That returns the system into a responsive state and also opens the app I requested.

Otherwise, if I wait long enough (a few minutes), gksu finishes and the app runs.
