Why would anyone *need* to use the GUI file browser in root mode? What I
meant is that, when you try to use a tool that *requires* root access,
it generally asks for the password.
If you try to move/copy/delete files that you don't have permission for,
you just get an error...it doesn't ask for a password.
Still, using cp, mv and rm is safer.

Personally, I find it easier and quicker to do it via keyboard.
Especially when there are a large number of files. For example, how
would I do cp *.com another-dir/ in a GUI? Imagine if the folder has
abut 300 files with different extensions...
Yes, cp, mv, rm are safer. And easier.
