You may want to use Gksu - it runs the program that follows as root. In other words, if you run the following:
gksu [path_to]/nautilus
- a window will pop up and prompt you to enter root password. After that, Nautilus will run as root until closed.
You may not have Gksu installed by default. It is good for making program buttons, too - because of the authentication box popping up. Nice UI feature.

Great THANKS. This is a great forum.
I'll try GKsu. Only other problem is that I don't always know the correct names of apps. Often get "command not found" message, 'like File Roller'.
