I know it's dangerous, especially running a file manager as root. But it's the easiest way for beginners to do things like editing system configuration files. Linux file managers should ask for admin authentication when root privileges are required (like what the Windows file manager does), but unfortunately they don't do that yet.

I'm open to suggestions, and I would understand if this wasn't accepted.
