you'll probably find its a gnome (or kde) theme that is causing the
issue, and the gnome (or kde) themes are stored in $HOME.  Since you
usually don't log in graphically as root (which is usually good) you
don't have theme folders set up in root's home...  am I making sense?!

try running `visudo` and commenting out the line:
Defaults    env_reset

I don't know if gksudo uses this file, but if it does, your problem
should go away...  If it does go away, then uncomment the line and do
something better like:

Defaults:yourname     env_keep-=TERMCAP

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.
