Q3) I have a couple of applications (Guarddog for one) that I want to lauch as root (including perhaps the GNOME log viewer). KDE makes this easy, as it just knows about them (deep voodoo) and prompts for the root password when I click the relevant Icon. Under GNOME I am going to have to tell it what user I suspect, do I use "GTsu" for this or some other similar tool. Can I make an icon with the application name (and Path of course) included so it is one click and the root password away? (Without using scripts, or creating more SUID bits, this is a GUI after all)
Q4) Editing lauchers doesn't let me edit the name of the program executed. I found the place where you can choose what is displayed on the properties dialogue once, but can't remember where I found it.
If it's on the desktop: Right click -> Edit Launcher. If it's on the panel: Right click -> Properties. Don't ask me why it's different.
Q6) One I ought to know an answer to - but whilst the weather applet tells me the current(ish) weather in Exeter (saves turning my head 90 degree left, plus moving curtain as required), "Forecast" just says "Met Office Forecast" surely some mistake?!?
