If you don't want to start stormpkg via the menu (it's both in the
Gnome menu and in the normal Debian menu under Apps -> System -> Admin
-> Storm Package Manager) you can type in an xterm:

     $gtksu /usr/bin/stormpkg &

Then a dialog box will appear which asks for the root password, after
typing it in, another dialog box gives you the opportunity to select
packages after certain criterias (installed/uninstalled/all or
matching a text string which will be looked after in package
names/descriptions/both) and after clicking on 'Filter' voila, the
package manager appears.

Both programs will not use an xterm window themselves! Very nice approach.

Hope this helps,
