I don't see why this would need to be done in nautilus, per se. Why not let me open the file as read only, then when it asks me if i want to save (in gedit, vim, etc), say "to save this file, you need root privileges" or something, and give the standard password prompt (with grey screen) that the update manager, etc does? Seems far more sensible to me.
