+GKSu is a library that provides a Gtk+ frontend to su and sudo.
+It supports login shells and preserving environment when acting as
+a su frontend. It is useful to menu items or other graphical
+programs that need to ask a user's password to run another program
+as another user.
+
+The root terminal used when gksu is called from the menu defaults to
+Xfce's terminal, but if you want something different, do something
+like this: TERM_APP=xterm ./gksu.SlackBuild
+
+This requires libgksu.
