Hello I want to make a folder on my desktop, containing links to several config files I need to be root to edit. I have been able to create launchers in gnome which open a terminal prompting for password, but I would like a better way. I tried to change permissions of the links, but that change the permission on the linked file. Is there any way to do su in X? What I want is a folder containing some conf files (links) and be prompted for root's password when i open them, or save them. What is the best way to do this? Henning Larsen
