:mad: When I write gksudo or gksu in the dash, are not found and therefore no more I can add, for example, gksudo nautilus!

Welcome to the Ubuntu Forums :-)
I suggest that you use the hotkey combination
ctrl + alt + t
to get a terminal window, and then write the command line. There is command completion, so if you write
gks and press TAB once it will complete to the first fork
gksu without a space afterwards. That means that there are other alternatives. Press TAB once more, and the alternatives are printed
gksu gksudo gksu-properties
so if you type d and TAB again it will complete to
gksudo with a space afterwards. Now it has found a unique instance.

Dash has command prompt as well, which is Alt + F2.

I think you meant Alt + F2, unless you're referring to tty2...
If you want to type an exact command (gksu nautilus), press Alt + F2. It has a log of all commands typed, which is handy.

Hi
gksudo is just a symbolic link to gksu. Do you have this on your machine ?
matthew-S206:/var/lib/dpkg % ls -l /usr/bin/gksudo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Dec 28 14:25 /usr/bin/gksudo -> gksu*
matthew-S206:/var/lib/dpkg %
Kind regards

Thanks for the correction. ;)

The Dash finds applications. You are asking it to find a command. Try searching the Dash for Terminal. You will get a choice of three. You can use the standard terminal to run the command
gksudo nautilus
