Description
As you normally do not need Nautilus with root permissions unless adminisrating your system, gksu Nautilus would be a really good thing in the Administration menu.
Many people wanted a gksu Nautilus, e.g. when you do sth. you can't should be a password queury or it should be available through the Accessoires menu. But the advantage with that in the Administration menu would be that you would only use it when you really planned it. You can't play around with it normally, because you have to open a new instance and can't just delete files from the normal Nautilus.

cool, lets do a "sudo startx gnome" instead of the gdm.
or better remove the standard user and sudo, we just need the root!
Come on, that's one of the reasons why Linux is safer than Windows. Try to keep root away from running code that is not necessary to be run as root.
Always the same ;-)

I have to agree with this one to a limited degree.
True, we wanna avoid running root, period. However, I'd be lying if I said I haven't run nautilus as root simply because the terminal didn't seem to do the file operation I needed it to.

Should be done with PolicyKit instead.
