(Get the code!)
I found a kind of workaround here:
You can run "gksu-properties" and set "Screen Grabbing" to "prompt". In this way, gksudo will work normally, except that you have to choose one more "yes or no" (either works).
It seems that "prompt" is the only option that can make it work. Maybe there is some problem with the Screen Grabbing thing.
BTW, I am running Intrepid Ibex beta on amd64. I didn't have this bug soon after the installation. It started probably after I did a "apt-get upgrade" (in the meantime, I installed quite a lot of packages but none of them were system related).
