Bug#362224: libgksu1.2-0: looking for xauth in the wrong folder

[Michael Rasmussen]

Package: libgksu1.2-0
Version: 1.3.7-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

After xorg is upgraded in Debian Sid to 7.0 gksu no longer works because
it looks in a wrong folder for xauth. See debug output below

$gksu -d /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
