Mmm... it works fine here:

test@debian:~$ gksu -u test2 -l -d xcalc
xauth: -a195bd96819834793354c82655505b8a

display: -:0.0-
final xauth: -a195bd96819834793354c82655505b8a
-
final display: -:0.0-
STARTUP_ID: gksu/xcalc/2002-0-debian_TIME0
gksu_context_run: buf: -Contraseña: -
no password on keyring
DEBUG (run:after-pass) buf: -Contraseña: -
-EBUG (run:post-after-pass) buf: -
-EBUG (run:post-after-pass) buf: -gksu: waiting
-EBUG (gksu: waiting) buf: -gksu: waiting

And "xcalc" is launched.

I've noted you are using "sudo", but maybe you can try to enforce 
"su" (using "-w" modifier):

gksu -u mm5-user -l -d -w xcalc
