Idea #332: Include nautilus-gksu by default

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #4347: gksudo if I try to do an action I don't have access to.

Rationale
Opening files as root shouldn't be super-easy, but it shouldn't be cumbersome, either. This program is a non-obtrusive way of editing your files (xorg.conf, boot.lst) as root under Nautilus.
