It would be good if we had a standard way of doing that... I talked to walters about this some weeks ago, and he suggested it would be a good thing to merge xsu, gnome-sudo and gksu (maybe others?). I'm willing to work towards this, and I think it would be good to create some policy for that, probably modify the su-to-root script to use a "graphical su" alternative if $DISPLAY is set... It would even be good to have a capplet (and the equivalento on kcontrol) with options like: Which way to become root?: (*) Giving the root password (su) ( ) Using powers given by the admin (sudo) What application will ask for the password? (*) gnome-su (say this is the result of gnome-sudo + gksu + xsu) ( ) kdesu ( ) terminal with su ( ) custom Command: (in case custom is selected) The options should be changed in case the first question is changed, of course.
