Hey Guys,
Is there a nice feature in xfce, that will allow you to run as "sudo su" via the UI?
Sort of right click "Run as Administrator"
Cheers |

Not using it myself right now so cannot be certain.

There is also pkexec from sys-auth/polkit package.
But all of those are command line tools.
Then you should create a .desktop file that run an application with one of those command like:
| Code: | [Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=myprogram (as root)
Comment=configuration loader
Exec=pkexec myprogram_binary
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/myprogram.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;IDE |
