I know it's dangerous, especially running a file manager as root. But 
it's the easiest way for beginners to do things like editing system 
configuration files.
Linux file managers should ask for admin authentication when root 
privileges are required (like what the Windows file manager does), but 
unfortunately they don't do that yet.

I'm open to suggestions, and I would understand if this wasn't accepted.
