Reply: (edit)
if u use kde u can use
kdesu "programname -arg1 -arg2 .."
if u dont u have to use ssh -X localhost.
you might have to make a little shell script to get that to work.

Reply: (edit)If you want to use the program without typing the root password, do it this way (from a shell): chmod u+s program If you wanted to make `ls' always run as root (Even though that is stupid) you could: chmod u+s /bin/ls
