This seems like a potentially valid use case, though my general feeling is
that tools which open a GUI to prompt for a command line to run are not
significantly better than opening a terminal and running the command.
$ sudo gedit
$ gksudo gedit

I just ran into this with a user today, and I was wondering if we
should re-enable this one. I'm happy to do so if it goes into the right
place in the menu system, under Accessories (System Tools would be
another option but we've gotten rid of it by default and I'd rather not
resurrect it just for this).<br>
