You are not right - if system is configured, to use root account for gksu 
instead of sudo mode as default (gksu package has gconf setting for this), then 
user can't start ndiskgtk, because it ask for user passwd instead of root's :(

Btw, there should be more user-friendly way to find this closed source network 
drivers installation/configuration tool, maybe name of menu launcher should be 
"Network drivers from Windows" not "Windows wireless drivers", because first 
word in launcher's name should reflect tool's main purpose, also ndiswrapper in 
not only for wireless drivers, look http://ndiswrapper.sf.net :
"Although ndiswrapper is intended for wireless network cards, other devices are 
known to work: e.g., USB to serial port device, *ethernet card*, home phone 
*network device*, etc."

Best decision would be to integrate ndisgtk into official network config
tool - network-admin (from gnome-system-tools package), but this is for
another bugreport ;)
