When I used gnomesu in the past (under 9.3 and SLES), if I typed gnomesu, I would get a dialog box pop up and it would ask for the command to run and the password. Alternatively, I could also enter "gnomesu 'command'" Now I have 10.3 and I see a difference. (Granted things change over time.) Now, if I type gnomesu, immediately I get a dialogue box that asks for my password, but not the command. The command is already defaulted to 'gnome-terminal.' I guess I can just as easily type in gnomesu 'command', as it is clearly not a showstopper. But I wonder why the gnomesu dialog box no longer offers a command line of its own? I've looked for a config file to see if I might be able to take out gnome-terminal or choose a default of my own, but haven't found one yet. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I never knew it would ask for a command if there wasn't one already
after you typed gnomesu. I personally think that extra step is waste
but if it was already there then idk what's the point of removing it.
There are other alternatives, gtksu, kdesu, etc. Do they accomplish
what you want?

This sounds like a problem that has been swirling around recently, where the command and its args need to be quoted: gnumesu 'command args' -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Linux Brain Dump - Linux Notes, HOWTOs and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbraindump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
