Tried:
zenity --entry \
       --title="Browse files as root" \
       --text="Enter your _password:" \
       --entry-text "" \
       --hide-text | sudo -S nautilus --no-desktop --browser

Nothing shows up on my desktop.

Tried it again in gTerminal and got:
my file browser in root plus:

Password:   
[Entered through zenity ==> File Browser plus in stdout / stderror?]
Initializing nautilus-search-tool extension
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension

What do I do with these two lines?
