Program launcher - run as root
 

Is there a simple way to make an application prompt for a root password when you click on its launcher? In the same way system configuration programs ask for root privileges?

I use `kdesu`
to lauch a root terminal the launcher would execute `kdesu -c xterm` instead of just `xterm`

try looking at `kdesu --help` for more information :)

Thanks, that'll do it. I'm running gnome, which seems to have gnomesu which does the same thing. Thanks again.
