That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/36087

Ubuntu bug tracker has also https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/36563 on the topic:

"This hangs gnome-system-monitor (when trying to stop Firestarter using the context menu). I'm using Dapper (Flight 5).

Here's the output it generates to the terminal:

xauth: /tmp/libgksu1.2-FsUYNB/.Xauthority
cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo
cmd[1]: -H
cmd[2]: -S
cmd[3]: -p

cmd[7]: --
cmd[8]: kill
cmd[9]: -s
cmd[10]: 19
cmd[11]: 5344

Yeah, we're in...

Comment 2 Benoît Dejean 2006-04-12 05:55:51 UTC 
should be fixed in 2.14.1
Comment 3 Benoît Dejean 2006-06-20 09:30:48 UTC 
ping ?
Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2006-06-20 12:54:13 UTC 
works sort of fine with 2.14.3, it's still bugged if you enter your password right for an action and do another action, it asks for the password again then and do the action without considering the password. Could be a gksu bug though
Comment 5 Robert Roth 2011-11-26 22:05:14 UTC 
Is this still a problem? I can not reproduce this using Gnome System Monitor 3.3.2.1.
