Xubuntu

For your case you have the Thunar file manager in which case you would use:

gksu thunar or gksudo thunar

If you had Kubuntu then the File manager would be Dolphin in which case you would use:

kdesu dolphin or kdesudo dolphin

If you had Ubuntu you would use Nautilus as the File Manager and then would use:

gksu nautilus or gksudo nautilus.

If you had Lubuntu you would use PCManFM as the File Manager and then would use:

gksu pcmanfm or gksudo pcmanfm.

`kdesu` doesn't seem to exist on Kubuntu Precise; you have to use `kdesudo`. – Mechanical snail Jan 18 '13 at 00:35
@Mechanicalsnail - Thanks for the update buddy. Have not yet on latest version but on older ones it did exist. – Luis Alvarado Jan 18 '13 at 00:37
