    Hi All,

    I found that when I use gnomesu to start an app as root, it does not use
    root's environment, but my own.

    For example, if I start gnome-terminal as root, using gnomesu, the root
    terminal has my $USER, $HOME, $LOGUSER, etc variables.

    How can I get gnomesu to run the application in root's environment?

    There is not man for gnomesu and Google does not give much.

    Thanks
