Typical household GFIs are designed using cheap magnetics which would saturate given a DC leakage current. This means it will not be sensitive to a slow changing DC leakage current. a DC GFI can be made and does exist, but it will require a sensor that can sense DC flux without being saturated, such as a hall effect sensor chip.
