Patch for gnome-system-tools.

It changes all *.desktop files to execute the frontend through gksu, and
adds the 'X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true' flag, so that only administrators
will see the programs in the menu (this is what it looked like in
dapper).

The patch to time-tool is necessary because it connects to the user's
session dbus (no other g-s-t programs do), in order to poke the
screensaver to not start when changing the time. Since root does not
have a session bus when running though gksu, time-admin just hangs in
current edgy when run as root. The patch checks if time-admin runs as
root through sudo and temporarily drops the real uid to the user so that
dbus_bus_get (DBUS_BUS_SESSION, NULL) connects to the user's session
bus.
