I think you'd have to admit that using consolehelper to start up
various programs -- somewhat random depending on the user's
needs/wants -- is a pain in the ass.
It's not what consolehelper is designed to do. It is meant for
*applications*. Not directly by end users.
Am I missing something about the consolehelper method that would make
this process quicker and more flexible?
There is a view point that su helpers are a wrong model.

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to start up a file browser as
root without a terminal in a default Fedora setup (meaning a Gnome
desktop) short of logging out of your user account and logging in as
root?
kdesu? ;-)
