It is really disappointing. Windows XP has such feature since 5 years.
Couldn't we provide option to disable/enable this when needed? Removing
it is not a good way.
Windows XP does a lot of really really ugly things that we shouldn't
copy. This being one of them.
I agree. User switching should not even be in Windows XP. It causes a
lot of confusion with laziness being the most usual reason for using it.
I find that when admin'ing a machine that the ability to tell a GUI tool
that I want it to start with root rights would be handy. My current
method is invike a terminal, su - in that terminal, then start the app,
in background.
I know that some apps (I guess ones that are marked as being useless
without root access), invoke the ~"please give root password" dialog.
Is there already a nice way to start other programs (most common example
for me: nmapfe and gnome-terminal) as root (or even another user) ?
