Gksu is a graphical frontend for sudo that allows graphical command to be run without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly. It's effectively just a GTK+ skin for the superuser commands. Try this so you see for yourself; press alt+f2 which will launch app finder tool, type sudo thunar and click on run, then type gksu thunar and click on run, what did happen in both cases?
So I did the above. When I did alt & F2 then put in sudo thunar then clicked the gear icon, nothing happened. The wlndow disappeared and nothing occurred. When I did alt & F2 and put in gksu thunar, clicked on the gear then another window popped up asking for my pw which I put in and then it took me into the area (warning me that I was in or running as root).
So what does this mean with respect to "IF" I do wish to update the catfish data base, what must I do/type?
