gnome laucher with root access

English Programming/Scripting
#1

Hello,

I would like to create a custom application launcher in a Gnome panel that would ask for the root password when the user clicks on it. ‘gksudo’ was suggested in another thread but this is not a program that’s installed by default in openSuse 11.

Could someone help out.
