How do you open Nautilus as administrator?

[Randy Schilling]

Nautilus refuses to carry out simple commands such as copying, moving and renaming.
Thus far, I've used the command shell to perform such tasks.
Also, I can open Nautilus as administrator using "$ sudo nautilus" and then carry out such
tasks within Nautilus.

I would like to setup Nautilus to open the way Syntaptic opens;
that is, with a request for my administrator password.
Is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks and Regards - Randy

gksu nautilus

Then in the launcher right click it and choose keep in launcher. Not at my box so can't test.

As philinux says, here is how I have mine set up:

Ok Valvegrid, that works, Thanks. (Cool presentation too).
As an extra benefit, I now have an idea of what Main Menu is about. Thanks.
