Xubuntu

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

gksu thunar or gksudo thunar

Kubuntu

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

kdesu dolphin or kdesudo dolphin

Ubuntu / Mythbuntu / Edubuntu

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

gksu nautilus or gksudo nautilus.

Lubuntu

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. Jan 18, 2013 at 0:35
