Comment 6 for bug 80753

When I ('ben') am logged into my wife's ('pig') account, I can open 'Users and Groups' normally (as Pig isn't a sudo'er) and there is a nice 'Unlock' key, which allows any administrator hanging around to choose their ID and authorise with their own password.

With 'gksu' launchers, it becomes a little more painful, have to get a terminal going (bummer, shortcut doesn't work in her account, have to type 'gnome-terminal') and do 'su ben' and then 'gksu' whatever.

Mixing up GUI and terminal is a bit of a pain sometimes - 'Appearance' works in one launcher, whereas you need 'gnome-appearance-properties' for terminal.

In order to elevate the experience, there needs to be a shortcut. When a NON sudo'er tries to sudo anything, rather than threatening to report me to myself, I'd prefer to be faced with an authentication panel.

If there is an 'open as Adminstrator' option, then it should work for an administrator anywhere and everywhere. Please fix this or I'll stab you through the heart with a plastic fork.

(actually I'm more worried about newer users, because it's enough to hear them complain about how unlike Windows it is at the best of times, and it's worse when they're right).
