This is probably a stupid question, but anyway.

I'd like to make a little icon to link to an application which has to be run as root but clicked from a user's window. I can do it in the terminal but would like to make a shortcut to it.

i.e.

I'd like to change

[user@anything] $ su
password: *******************
[user@anything] $ /programme/to/execute

You'll need a graphical su program (I think ksu is one), read the man page for that program to find out how to pass programs to it.

I imagine it would be something like "ksu -c 'krpm'"
