nautilus crashes upon running 'gksudo nautilus', 'sudo nautilus' is working.

Maybe it is a bug in libgksu2-0 instead of nautilus package, I can not tell for sure.

Somebody on askubuntu told me that running sudo nautilus is somewhat insecure and I should always run gksudo for running GUI programs, so I mark this as a security vulnerability, too.
