Hi Set, at least kdesu can be configured to use sudo instead of su and IIUC what man gksu mentions, then by gconf the same can be done for gksu. $ cat .jwmrc-jwmpanel | less <?xml version="1.0"?> <JWM> <!-- lxpolkit is needed when e.g. using "pkexec" instead of "gksudo" --> <!-- <StartupCommand>/usr/lib/lxpolkit/lxpolkit</StartupCommand> --> I commented lxpolkit out. On my machine everything needed to use gksudo is running anyway, but for usage of pkexec there seems to be the need to start an additional authentication agent.
