You can always run a GUI app as root by using the command gksu before it in a CL on run app window. I use KDE instead of Gnome but if I am doing a lot of file work I use that method.

I think I got what your saying. I had to many fires to get back to the Linux server this week so it has become the Monday project. Kinda fun learning a new system, whish the boss had a slightly less pressing time frame though.

There is a great forum resource for diff Unix flavors http://www.linuxquestions.org/ . I usually check there for answers to issues I am stumped with.
