Comment(by cscott):
Again, it's *not* 'su -'. It's just 'su'. Using 'su -' asks su to get rid
of extraneous environment variables, like SUGAR_PATH, and that is *not*
what you want.
I'm all for people typing 'su' or 'sudo' when they want root. I don't see
the need for a special button, and the current implementation of that
button is just gross.
