The result I wish to achieve is to click on the icon for either GParted or
Synaptic *WITHOUT* being asked for a password (either root's or user's).
I've found vague hints that adding a line to my local /etc/sudoers file
such as
richard ALL = /usr/sbin/gparted , /usr/sbin/synaptic
would accomplish my goal.
Is that correct?

I think that might work if clicking each icon actually runs those
commands from each .desktop file.
I believe it does:
1. if logged in as root, entering "/use/sbin/gparted" runs.
2. if *NOT* logged in as root, entering "/usr/sbin/gparted" asks for
password.
