FWIW, sudo expects input on stdin (standard input), which is not
typically available with a gui launcher.  One way to debug these
things is to tell the launcher to use a terminal (in gnome,
right-click on launcher -> properties, check "Run in terminal").  That
should show you what's up. gksudo is a gtk wrapper around sudo (which
you probably figured out.. in any case, that is the right way to go
about it :).
