Bug description:
  When trying to open the AMD Catalyst Control Center in Administrative
  mode by using the launcher found in dash, you will be ask to enter
  password for it, but it always shows "su: authentication failure" and
  exit.

  Steps:
  1. Install 14.04 on a I+A system, boot to desktop
  2. Try to open the Control Center in administrative mode by searching AMD in dash
  3. Enter password

  Expected result:
  * AMD Catalyst Control Center opened

  Actual result:
  * The authentication windows closed with failure message

  This bug will be a blocker to 14.04 certificate for all I+A (or even
  A+A) GPU switchable systems, since user won't be able to switch
  between GPUs without using the command line commands.

  WORKAROUND:
  run "sudo amdcccle" in the terminal, you will be able to switch between GPUs.

  Exec should be "amdxdg-su -c /usr/bin/amdcccle" in ubuntu-amdccclesu.desktop.
  It must be full patch, otherwise it will fail to be launched.
