Gnome Task Launcher for user with root privileges....

[Redefined Horizons <redefined.horizons@gmail.com>]

I would like to create a task launcher for my GNOME desktop that launches a program that requires root access.

 

How would I do this?

 

For example, I'd like to start Synaptic from a task launcher.

 

Thanks for the help.

P.S. - I'm running Debian Sarge, with the latest stable version of GNOME.
