Bug#479817: su-to-root -X -c missing in .desktop files

Hello,

In version 2.30.2-1 of package "gnome-system-tools", I still can't use 
the links in the Gnome system administration menu as a normal user. An 
error message occurs.

Those files are missing a simple "su-to-root -X -c"  behind the "Exec=" 
at the end of the .desktop file.

/usr/share/applications/network.desktop
  /usr/share/applications/services.desktop
  /usr/share/applications/shares.desktop
  /usr/share/applications/time.desktop
  /usr/share/applications/users.desktop

Other applications like synaptic seem to be using it. su-to-root is part 
of the package "menu".
It would be very nice if you could fix this, or at least state why this 
should not be fixed and was reassigned to wishlist.

Thank you
Alex
