Sudo has always worked fine with graphical progams. But either from a
terminal, a VT, or from 'run program' aka Alt-F2.

gksu and gksudo are used for invoking a graphical mode of inputing an
admin password. Both are used specifically for menu items or toolbar
items (or perhaps in script where a terminal is not in use?).
