Running apps with elevated permissions?
Is it possible to run apps with sudo rights / admin rights?
Starting programs with sudo doesn't appear to work, as the commands to rin apps, e.g.
xdg-open /usr/share/applications/harbour-file-browser.desktop
will fail to run if sudoed. (and yes I have sudo installed.)
What I'd like to do is run GUI text editors or file managers with more permissions, so that I can actually DO something.
