Honestly, I think this should allow for an arbitrary command.  If I'm
not using gksudo at all, it would be nice to be able to override
su-to-root.  If I am using gksudo, setting something globally
in /etc/su-to-rootrc from a script is much easier than messing around
w/ gconf settings.

At the moment, I'm having problems w/ gksu and wondering why I can't
just set SU_TO_ROOT_X=sudo (using passwordless sudo).  As I
understand it, su-to-root doesn't enforce any security, it lets the
backend handle it.
