Public bug reported: The catalyst control center (admin) only starts properly when gksu is installed, but gksu is not a dependency of the fglrx-amdcccle package.
How to reproduce 1) remove gksu: sudo apt-get remove gkso 2) install fglrx-amdcccle: sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle 3) Try starting the AMD catalyst control center from the Dash. You get a small terminal-like screen that ask for the password. If you input the password nothing else happens 4) install gksu: sudo apt-get install gksu 5) Open AMD catalyst again from the dash, now it opens properly.
