[ Thanks to Ian MacGregor for this link. ]

"There are times that I would like to open an app as root user without having to use the command line in order to do that. I learned of a nice app in the Fedora repos called beesu and I will show you how to set up a menu entry to be able to use this nice app.

"From man beesu:
beesu - A wrapper for "su" that would give you a graphic interface under Fedora. See man beesu for more information. From man beesu: Beesu can be installed in Fedora with the following command: su -c 'yum install beesu'"
