prepending gksu to the menu command would be trivial (and in fact is a
relatively simple workaround) but I don't think it's the right way to
fix this.  PolicyKit provides finer grained administrative permissions
and would allow xdiagnose to be started without permissions and only
request authentication if an operation required it.  Due to that and
other reasons policykit would also be more secure than gksu.  It's more
work to implement it though.
