Comment 43 for bug 12154

I can't believe this hasn't been implemented yet. Are we trying to keep Linux as an Operating System for 'geeks' only?!

Changing permissions isn't exactly the most basic of Linux commands; and going to the command prompt might be the first idea that comes to many Linux users minds, but how about those new to Linux who don't know all these commands.

PomCompot I very much dig your mockup there, and it's pretty much as I had imagined the solution prior to seeing this lanchpad entry. It is also in keeping with current design of root user access for GUI applications.
