I have a script with this.
gxsudo thunar
It now longer works?
Did a kernel upgrade delete the program?
Running 16.04 Ubuntu Mate.

The command gxsudo thunar that you tried to run in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 is incorrect. The correct command in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 is:
gksu thunar
The gksu package, which provides GTK+ front-ends for su (gksu) and sudo (gksudo), was removed from the Ubuntu 18.04 repositories for security reasons, so it won't be available starting with this Ubuntu release.
It is recommended in Ubuntu 18.04 and later to open thunar as root only when it is needed, otherwise use cd in the terminal to change directories.
sudo -H thunar &>/dev/null

I'm assuming that you mean gksudo.
This package can be reinstalled by issuing the command:
$ sudo apt install gksu
Based on a cursory google search it would appear that the developers removed it from the default install sometime in 13.04 due to security concerns.
