Did some searching and found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/284306/why-is-gksu-no-longer-installed-by-default-in-13-04 As this post mentions gksu is deprecated as stated in comment #4 Don't understand why then gksu-properies does default to gksu instead of gksudo.

Upon entering my regular user password (as is the default with Ubuntu) an error message briefly appears in the small text window with something to the effect of: "su: authentication failure" Then the small window closes and the Catalyst control center never appears. Previous versions of the control center worked correctly when providing the regular user's password for administrative permissions. However, if I run "$sudo amdcccle" in a console terminal, the Catalyst control center runs with elevated permissions.
