Hello,

I just wanted to say that i don't think we're having the good approach, at the 
moment. It is true that running nautilus as root is clearly not such a great 
idea, and that the mecanisms used by Thunar are pretty useful.

But i don't think modding the whole theme would be a good workaround, for two 
reasons :

- The "sudo'd" window, with its own theme, may render really badly in the midst 
of other windows, and some users (like me) just install their themes in 
/usr/share/themes so that their gksudo'd windows integrate correctly with the 
other ones. This feature won't make them happy at all.

- This would be a very ubuntu-specific workaround for an actually real Gnome 
problem. Only the themes designed by Ubuntu and the community would take this 
into account, with a lot of extra work from the theme designers, just for this 
feature. It would probably have a pretty low impact.

What i think to be the most accurate solution is to contact the Gnome 
developers, and to kindly ask them to do the same thing (and possibly to 
include the possibility to customize the warning thing, for theme designers). 
This would be better because it would work with any theme, wouldn't disturb the 
users as much as modifying the whole theme, and would also benefit other Gnome 
users.

SD.
