simple, I don't do sudo ;)<br></blockquote></div><br>But there is no visible sudo in the GUI. Installing an app, for example, doesn't require the user switch to root or initiate gksudo. If it's just the term you're after, setting the xterm to root ownership and marking the SUID bit seems the most logical solution.
