Trying to find a way to launch apps from GUI as root by default without using terminal or command. I have gone through several sites and all says to launch by using "sudo %app name%". But what i am looking for is to launch apps automatically as root by clicking on the graphical icon without having to use terminal each time. Thanks in advance.

    If you are really sure you want it (you shouldn't), you can create a .desktop file: http://askubuntu.com/questions/281293/creating-a-desktop-file-for-a-new-application and in it using a command with sudo, after configuring it to run without asking a password: http://askubuntu.com/a/147265/16395 . If you do it, keep very good backups (wrong clicks are even easier than wrong command line commands...) – Rmano Oct 20 '16 at 10:37

    Are you familiar with gksu? It would allow you to create a .desktop file with GUI password prompt (for your password , i.e. you need to be in the adm/sudo group). – FelixJN Oct 20 '16 at 10:50
