I'm not any sort of expert on using zenity and don't want to make you
rehash stuff that's been hashed over on the list already, but if you
have a pointer to those threads I'd be curious to try and see if it
could be made to work. It would be reinventing the wheel somewhat
though, as this is precisely what gksu is intended to do.

Understandable. If you like to tinker, it's great fun to learn how to
package things up as rpms. You can then make certain tweaks to the
packages Fedora installs or even build new ones that aren't included
and share them with everone else. Let me know and I'll help get you
started with a gksu package, even if it doesn't end up being added to
extras it might be useful to you locally.
