NAME
     gksu - a Gtk+ su frontend

SYNOPSIS
     gksu [ options ] 
     gksudo [ options ] 

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents briefly gksu and gksudo

     gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend  to  sudo.
     Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need
     root without the need to run  an  X  terminal  emulator  and
     using su directly.

OPTIONS
     These programs follow the usual  GNU  command  line  syntax,
     with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary
     of options is included below.

  Common Options:
     --user , -u 

          Calls  as the specified user

     --message , -m 

          Replaces the standard message shown to ask for password
          for the argument passed to the option

     --sudo-mode, -S

          Use sudo instead of su as backend  authentication  sys-
          tem.  Notice  that  the  X authorization magic will not
          work when using sudo for target users other than root.
