Well, I would imagine it has been done...I just cannot find one. I know
when I installed RedHat or Mandrake (running Debian now), that they had
many apps that did do that. Now I am not sure if it was a single
front-end, or if they built it into the app. Which, if they did,
implies the major toolkit you mentioned.
Perhaps I will look into that. Of course...maybe an xsu is a little
better. As that would not require sudo installed or setup.
Thoughts?

write an xsudo program. The world over will love you, especially if you
do not
use a major toolkit to do it.
