get root privileges in gtk apps

[scorpio2002]

Hi there! I'm developing a gtk2+ application and I'd like to know how do you prompt the user for root password... (this program needs to modify some memory registers...).

Hi there! I'm developing a gtk2+ application and I'd like to know how do you prompt the user for root password... (this program needs to modify some memory registers...).You can use gksu or gksudo (or kdesu for kde apps) to prompt the user to enter the administrative password. You can learn more about them here (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo).
