Correction: X doesn't hang, the mouse works and the keyboard works, but
you just don't see what you type, and the window isn't drawn correctly.
If I type and hit enter, it works... But I think gksudo should prevent
itself from running more than once, because it doesn't look nice and
it's confusing when people click the update-notifier applet multiple
times quickly.
