Might be... I created a new user here tro try gksu + $some_GNOME_programs here. I tried nautilus, evolution; I even invoked a full gnome-session as root using gksu to try it out and make sure. No .ICEauthority was created at all. gksu does leave some variables like USERNAME and LOGNAME untouched, though, so a misbehaving program could be the problem there. I tried synaptic, though, and it works without creating a .ICEauthority. Haven't you tried to run something else as root, using other means, maybe?
