Yes and show its run as uid 0.

$ gksu id
kvm_open: kvm_nlist: No such file or directory
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
LibGTop-Server: pid 8762 received eof.

Yes, it works then.

Before:

$ gksu gnome-system-log
kvm_open: kvm_nlist: No such file or directory
No protocol specified

(gnome-system-log:8938): gnome-system-log-CRITICAL **: Unable to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
LibGTop-Server: pid 8949 received eof.

And gnome-system-log not displayed.

Then do:

$ xhost +local:
non-network local connections being added to access control list

After this gnome-system-log is displayed:

$ gksu gnome-system-log
kvm_open: kvm_nlist: No such file or directory
$ LibGTop-Server: pid 9202 received eof.

Interestingly, subsequent invocations do not produce the output to terminal:

$ gksu gnome-system-log
$
