>> SYNOPSIS
>>        gksu
>>
>>        gksu [-u <user>] [options] <command>
>>
>>        gksudo [-u <user>] [options] <command>
>>
>> DESCRIPTION
>>        This manual page documents briefly gksu and gksudo
>>
>>        gksu  is  a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo.  Their primary purpose is to run graphical com‐
>>        mands that need root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly.
>>
>>        Notice that all the magic is done by the underlying library, libgksu. Also  notice  that  the  library  will
>>        decide if it should use su or sudo as backend using the /apps/gksu/sudo-mode gconf key, if you call the gksu
>>        command. You can force the backend by using the gksudo command, or by using the  --sudo-mode  and  --su-mode
>>        options.
>>
>>        If no command is given, the gksu program will display a small window that allows you to type in a command to
>>        be run, and to select what user the program should be run as. The other options are disregarded, right  now,
>>        in this mode.
