Again, this seems like overkill for the problem at hand, since the
question was asking about running things on the
time Gnome 2.0 comes out there will be a uniform
solution in place; however, it will still only be a sensible way to run
a particular application as root, since it's too dangerous to wander
around with root powers all the time.
