Public bug reported:

As I see a lot of people miss the feature to conveniently handle files owned by 
the root without opening up a terminal and type in sudo.
Eg. I want to see a file for which I don’t have permission, then I would like 
to navigate to its folder with Nautilus and then when after a doubleclick I’m 
prompt that I have no permission to open the file, there would be an option to 
unlock it as I can do with the administration tools.
Similarly, if open a file with Gedit, when I try to save my modifications I get 
a yellow stripe explaining that I can’t do so. That could include such a button 
to pop up a conversation window to enter the root password and get the 
appropriate rights.
