I don't know about gksudo, but as to the sudoers file, I wouldn't use
the NOPASSWD tag, it would allow anyone who made his way into your
account to change your firewall rules without knowing your passwd, and
there are ways to break into an account without knowing the passwd.
Leaving out NOPASSWD allows you an extra little bit of security, and
every bit counts.
