Hi there, just talking with some #gnome-hackers about the new gksu library. WHAT is it? gksu was a cute small authentication tool (provides "run as" functionality). It's developers were working to create a library from the client and extracted all the important stuff into that library. HOW to get it? CVS: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=gksu "gksu-lib" branch. Apt-get (debian): deb http://beterraba.no-ip.org/libgksu ./ deb-src http://beterraba.no-ip.org/libgksu ./ Source packages: http://beterraba.no-ip.org/libgksu/ WHY should we have it in GNOME? We should start to provide "run as" functionality in several parts of the desktop. The first part should be the run dialog. The next big one was Nautilus with "open folder as ...". You may find more... I basically would like to see the next panel depending on gksu and starting the run as stuff like we start the gsearchtool nowadays. gksu is well maintained and actively developed for almost 2 years now is is really stable (at least for me).
