I have a little puzzle.
User would like to start some backup software that must be run by
root. This happens often enough so that it would be convenient to put
a launcher in Gnome Panel's menu.
I assume the answer is to create a string that will su itself to root
by issuing the password, and then launch the application, but I've no
idea how to design a string to do that (I'm aware of the security
issue here).
