I'm using Ubuntu Feisty amd64 with Gnome desktop, and all I had to do was open a terminal and type "sudo nautilus." After giving it the root password Nautilus opened up as always, except I was root so I could copy, move or delete any file. Actually, almost always the reason I need a root Nautilus is so I can fix permissions. If I needed to do it often I'd just create a launch menu item for it. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
