Hi;

Because you need sudo to read the password passed by zenity on stdout.
So you have to do:

zenity --entry \
--title="Browse files as root" \
--text="Enter your _password:" \
--entry-text "" \
--hide-text \
| sudo -S nautilus --no-desktop --browser

then control the return code of sudo to check that the password
entered was correct.

Tried:
zenity --entry \
--title="Browse files as root" \
--text="Enter your _password:" \
--entry-text "" \
--hide-text | sudo -S nautilus --no-desktop --browser

Nothing shows up on my desktop.

Tried it again in gTerminal and got:
my file browser in root plus:

Password:
[Entered through zenity ==> File Browser plus in stdout / stderror?]
Initializing nautilus-search-tool extension
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension

What do I do with these two lines?
