The only GNOME apps you'd want to run with elevated privileges would be
administrative apps, and they very rarely rely on user settings (and are
better off explicitly avoiding user settings), so I agree with this
suggestion in theory - makes sudo use a lot clearer. Matt, any practical or
security issues with this?
