I don't know about gksu + Fedora/amd64 interactions. In my Gentoo/amd64
gksu has been installed by the means of compilation. For me everything
works, on my normal (non-root) user account.

If you *want* I can attach a complete listing of all files contained in gksu
package, along with permissions. Maybe this will help you?

Have you tried to run aforementioned command from the terminal? Did it
display something useful? Maybe you could add "-d" parameter too:

$ gksu -d gedit /etc/whatever

and see what happens.

Cheers,
Wiktor
