gksu-polkit

command line utility to run programs as root

This is the new generation of gksu, a simple utility to run programs as root, even in X-based environments. This version uses the new libgksu-polkit library, which uses PolicyKit for authorization purposes and a D-Bus service to actually perform the work.
