    It is working (10.11) if you use Terminal, instead Alt+F2, and type the same

    gksu nautilus

    Request pw and remains the entire section.
    Btw: the screenshot, as per the post, does not show.

    Sadly not working in 12.04 it seems!

    davemet@Shed:~$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu

    Package nautilus-gksu is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package ‘nautilus-gksu’ has no installation candidate
    davemet@Shed:~$

    Any ideas please!

    Thanks
