    Nautilus right click "open as root" extension

    Using Gnome shell on Ubuntu 11.10 and have installed nautilus-gksu extension so that I can open nautilus as root. This works from the command line (Alt+F2 gksu nautilus) but there is nothing in the right click menu of nautilus to "open as administrator".
    Apparently this is available in Mint 12, how to make it work in Ubuntu ?

    Have you attempted to restart Nautilus since you installed? I've never used the nautilus-gksu package, but from what I can tell it does add the extension to the Nautilus menu.
