Hello list, Perhaps the following fits into this thread. I am new to fedora and gnome, but not to linux. Recently, after installing fedora core 3 with gnome, I was disturbed that nautilus could not be called as su from the desktop. To make a long story short, I decided that Nautilus, like the konquerer (the file/internet browser) in kde must be callable for a su session from any mortal users desktop. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, I did a quick google, I found this: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/matt_hansen/nautilus/ It worked for me. You are able to use gedit as well as any other functions that nautilus provides mortal users and you have all the power of su. Please note that I did not totally follow the instructions as described in the article: I modified it to suite my individual needs. Best Marvin Dickens On Wed, 2004-11-17 at 15:46 -0500, J.
