security question related to running administrative tasks from The gnome-terminal

[Mgr. Janusz Chmiel]

Dear core developers of Ubuntu Jaunty,

    I would like to thank You very, very much that You improved 
accessibility support on this Ubuntu version, user do not have to create 
orbit.rc file to run aplications with The root privileges from The 
gnome-terminal. My security question is related toThe situation, when i will 
run some administrative tasks from The gnome-terminal.

Can i run all those task securely, or there can be random crashes while 
triing to run them from The Gnome terminal? What is better approach. Run 
those tasks by using gnome-terminal and a command line, or To use run 
application command and The button run in The terminal? In GNome 2.23, i 
received GTK related error message while using TAB and SHIFT+TAB in The 
Synaptic package manager, which i executed from The Gnome-terminal. So 
please, would YYou gime me a advice? Because i think, that some interfaces 
of applications are not intennded to be run from The gnome-terminal.

Thank You for Your professional answer.
