Bug Description

The catalyst control center (admin) only starts properly when gksu is installed, but gksu is not a dependency of the fglrx-amdcccle package.

How to reproduce
1) remove gksu: sudo apt-get remove gkso
2) install fglrx-amdcccle: sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle
3) Try starting the AMD catalyst control center from the Dash. You get a small terminal-like screen that ask for the password. If you input the password nothing else happens
4) install gksu: sudo apt-get install gksu
5) Open AMD catalyst again from the dash, now it opens properly.
