I've remembered one possible use: to include in .desktop files and (don't know yet how), commands, like mount. Perhaps this last use can be worked around with the Tools/"Open as Root"). I have included ssh-askpass exactly with the similar objective of using a graphical password dialogue to execute gparted as administrator without the need of pkexec. We have been having many problems with permissions, like ssh-askpass, it could help. Pro argument is that it is Qt based and only depends on liblxqt. Against, I still have the arguments that we already have ssh-askpass and nobody thought we would need the similar (deprecated?) ones like gksu(do) and kdesu(do). -- []s, Fernando, aka Sísifo -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
