Oops, the same on Arch Linux.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40197
I didn't notice it since I use xhost.
Btw. xhost is needed when using gksudo:
$ chuser firefox
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
Error: cannot open display: :0
size == 0' failed
$ cat /usr/local/bin/chuser
#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/chuser -> /.chuser/bin/chuser
#xhost +
gksudo -u chuser "$*"
#xhost -
exit
$ sudo nano /usr/local/bin/chuser
$ chuser firefox
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
$ cat /usr/local/bin/chuser
#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/chuser -> /.chuser/bin/chuser
xhost +
gksudo -u chuser "$*"
xhost -
exit
