No, I just look at the latest releases.

As far as know, at least CentOS doesn't have a graphical authorisation
utility for sudo.
Seems so, weird.
As far as I know, on some mandriva related distros with gnome desktops
installed, it still bumps the user privileges even if -c is used.
Also strange...
Hmm. I have seen gksu
Maybe it would be possible to write a graphical su entirely in Gambas?
The first difficulty I see is how to know if we must use 'su' or 'sudo'
to run the command...
I have never run into need for su, I always use sudo.
Example in Ubuntu as default, you cannot do su root.
So su is useful only

Dancing with Android Linux with root MIA and directory permission

Hmmm... I don't know any reason for sudo being insecure compared to su.
Do you mean sudo exist, but it's use is restricted like su in Ubuntu..?
Otherwise, if sudo doesn't exist then use su -c, if this also fails,
then I don't know how

Weird that there isn't any standard about this, or is there..?
I think every linux distribution should have link to it's graphical version
of sudo/su, with uniform name like GUIsudo.
Then you could always call it without knowing which environment is used.

If I remember correctly, you can even save more work by using gb.desktop,
Desktop.RunAsRoot() which
builds on top of the portland xdg scripts.
Before writing anything I should always check what gb.desktop contains...
But there seems to be bugs.
I tried 'Desktop.RunAsRoot(whoami)'.

OK, I'm stupid.
Desktop.ScreenSaver.Activate() doesn't do anything because I have disabled

I will investigate what is wrong with xdg-su...
