It's a pretty easy fix. Here is the solution.

"pacman -S libgnomesu"
"nano /opt/gnome/share/applications/gdmsetup.desktop"
Change the Exec line to look like the following:
Exec=gnomesu /opt/gnome/sbin/gdmsetup

thanks for this :)

you can also use gksu and change the Exec line to:

Exec=gksu /opt/gnome/sbin/gdmsetup
