prepending gksu to the menu command would be trivial (and in fact is a relatively simple workaround) but I don't think it's the right way to fix this. PolicyKit provides finer grained administrative permissions and would allow xdiagnose to be started without permissions and only request authentication if an operation required it. Due to that and other reasons policykit would also be more secure than gksu. It's more work to implement it though.
