yes, i can run the apps when i invoke them as a superuser... but how come 
the authentication doesn't "stick" while in graphical mode?  Do programs 
need to be written in order to retain "access" rights?  I dont wanna be 
running a gui under root in order to perform updates etc...

Thanks,
Paul

PS:  I'm dumb (that and lazy)... is there a site explaining how FC2 
implements SELinux?  Are their resources regarding setting up policies?
