I am looking for ways to smooth out administrative tasks under Gnome. Is there a way to configure applications or menu launchers so that when an application requires administrative rights it will prompt, in a nice dialog box, for the administrator password? For example, on my system, Applications / System Tools / Login Screen Setup produces an error dialog "You must be the super user (root) to configure GDM." But I don't want to log on as root, and I don't want to require people to open a terminal window and fool around with su and sudo to make it happen. I want it as smooth as it is in OS X. Has anyone done this?
Is there a nice, Gnome-like GUI tool for managing users, groups, printers, and network shares? I know about SWAT and WebMin, but what I seek is the Gnome family equivalent.
