Nautilus definitely needs to be of primary concern for 2.4... there was an interesting suggestion I read in a RH8 evaluation essay that was actually linked to off of here... we're getting better at allowing more system administration functions to occur from normal user accounts by prompting for a root password... this author suggested that when doing file management function from within Nautilus, if an operation requires permissions that the user does not have, then prompt for the root password... e.g., if I want to copy a file to /usr/bin and I'm not logged in as root, simply prompt for the root password... or if I want to view another user's home directory but I don't have permissions, simply prompt for the root password...
