there are many possible ways to fix this, some obviously easier than
others. I'm going to target this for a paper cut milestone for the time
being so we can keep track of it, and forward it to the upstream
Nautilus devs later and see what they think.
I think a simple solution would be to add an option to the context menu
that says "<Action to perform> as administrator", or some variation on a
theme. This would perform the action in the relevant application with
root privileges without having to elevate those of Nautilus.
