AFAIU (as far as i understand) PolicyKit is going to handle those
sorts of details.  It's far more ideal, because then for some users,
they can never escalate their privileges, some users can only escalate
with a root password, and some with their own password. It's this
understanding that it will be here "any time soon" that's kept me from
complaining about the obvious lack of gksudo.
