The script is a simplified OpenOffice.org installer. The default OOo 
download is a tar.gz file with about 12 RPM files. This is a GUI program 
that extracts everything and asks the user where to put it. If the user 
chooses a location that is writable only by root (e.g. /usr/local) I 
should run gksudo to ask for a password. So far so good. But what if the 
user is not in the sudoers list? I need to know whether it makes sense 
to run gksudo for this user or not.

Cheers,
Daniel.
