[arch-dev-public] An introduction to gooeydo

Following a minor disagreement about how best to create .desktop files to launch apps with root privs, James and I came up with gooeydo (gui-do - ge' it?). You can read all about it here: http://thewrecker.net/?page_id=199 As an example of the purpose consider gparted and wifi-radar - both require root privs but are most often just run by users. I used sudo in my .desktop file for wifi-radar, while James used gksu in gparted. Because I don't have gksu on my system gparted won't appear in the menu. We think gooeydo nicely addresses the problem by ensure that a suitable "run as root" apps is used in all cases. Cheers, Phil
