All the applications that need to su now contains a graphical su
wrapper in the menu files.

This obsolete my wishlist (which was to have the choice of
opening the application via su or not)

I somewhat disagree with this choice , some applicaiton that may
need root access are usefull as on root too (like synaptic, i may
want to look for new packages, dependencies then choose to get
administrator privileges to install ... or end up there).
The idea being to use root privileges as few as one can. 

At this time freedesktop did not existed . It is a better place
for such a bug. Thus i close this one and may eventually raise
the issue there.
