I also think that applications currently using root privileges 1. should have an optical identification BUT 2. really should use the global menu/appmenu for consistency reasons. Using the normal menu lets every application look crappy and I think regarding 'design' it's a weak point

Normal menu as opposed to global menu cannot be considered as something that distinguishes between normal/root privilege applications, as there are applications like LibreOffice and others that just do not implement global menu integration, so this would be misleading. On 12/01/2011 05:48 PM,

Hmm, why not start up another process for indicator-appmenu? Depending on if it's a root application, or a user application, decides which one is displayed up there at the moment. This allows security, hopefully. The idea is, the user's indicator-appmenu is the only one running while under normal

This is confusing, distracting and reducing productivity. Here's a proposal: indicator-appmenu gets, initially, read-only access to the root dbus (in order to draw the menu) and then asks for a password on the first menu call (by either mouse click or keyboard shortcut). All root privileges drop
