Sthu hadn't mentioned even once that he tries to run those as root. Nevertheless, in principle, I do agree with Bob here - IMHO, running standard software as root is a bit silly, to say the least. What I disagree with is the statement that they hadn't been designed to run as root. Root, UID 0, a special kind of user it might be, is still a user and can/should be able to run *any* program. The question "why" would anyone do that is a different matter altogether. However, only two programs causing the problem when run using gksu is most peculiar and indeed shouldn't be ignored.
