[CentOS] Run as root w/o terminal/gksu-polkit uses 100 % CPU
Hi, On CentOS 7, what's the best way to start a GUI program as root without a terminal? I mean, from a launcher or similar where you can't provide terminal input to "sudo". I'm talking about applications that aren't configured to switch to root out-of-the box, of course. I just tried gksu-polkit from EPEL, and it kind of did the job but: 1. It consumed *a lot* of resources - CPU usage was reported at a constant 100 %, more or less. 2. The process did not go away after I closed the application. Which means it's practically unusable, unless someone can provide a way to fix these problems. Thanks, - Toralf
