My observation was simply that we have $DESKTOP_SESSION, and hence we could use it to do a "smarter" sudo for the desktop, which for gnome (or xubuntu) calls gksu, for kde the kde one, and if there is no desktop session or X at all (such as a ssh or console instance), maybe just calls terminal sudo. I could make it into a formal small blueprint for Narwhal for sensible-utils if there is interest in something like this.
