Right, but as Vincent said, this change will probably go upstream, and 
we need to find something that will work outside Ubuntu as well.

I personnally like the USER_IS_ADMIN (or : USER_IS_SUDOER) solution a 
lot, I think it's a good idea to make this go "system-wide" right now, 
as it might very well be useful for various other things.
