It's worth mentioning because the gksu package contains both a gksu *and* a gksudo executable, the latter allowing one to gain elevated priviledges via sudo rather than su. Using sudo is better because it allows for much finer-grained control of who can run what as root (or other users), and does not require anyone to know the root password. Cheers, nate -- Nathaniel W.
