sudo suggestion

hi,

regarding that lots of users don't get the sudo concept 
of ubuntu i'd like to make some suggestions:

1. a wrapper for sudo that monitors if passwd is called 
and points out that you gain nothing above the sudo
concept with setting up a root password.
probably show a link to the appropriate docs.

2. drop the mentioning of root completely form the gksudo
windows. replace it with something like (i'm german, so excuse my
english):
"Please enter your Password to confirm you want to do administrative
tasks"
or  ".....you want to run xyz"

ciao
	oli
