I'm packaging up a package that will have a GNOME icon placed on
the GNOME menu's. It *MUST* be run as root however, and I want
the GNOME launcher that fires it up to first "su" to root, or
some other mechanism. I'd prefer a nice GUI dialog box popup
that prompts for the root password, and then runs the program as
root. This will be clicked on by non-root users, who will then
enter the password and it starts up.
I have tried to make such a launcher to no avail. Seems to me
KDE allows you to pop up a dialog to logon for "su". I could be
wrong though...
Any idea of how to do this? It is possible I suppose with a
terminal window running su, or something but that is incredibly
messy looking. I want it to look nice.
