Those instructions are a bit intrusive since it replaces RPM-managed
files and defaults all users of the computer to running Nautilus as
root.  Neither of which seem like a good idea...


So, I wrote a script to setup consolehelper and try to create a new
launcher in the "System Settings" menu if a launcher already exists.

For Nautilus, you could run it like this:
  mkconsole /usr/bin/nautilus nautilus-super

Which creates a "Home Folder (Super User)" entry under the System
Settings menu.
