+libgnomesu is a library for providing superuser privileges to GNOME
+applications. It supports consolehelper, PAM and su.
+
+libgnomesu will use one the following services (in order of priority),
+depending on which one is available:
+- consolehelper
+- PAM
+- su
+
+libgnomesu will use the su-based backend as final fallback, if no other
+services are available. This service uses a backend which is a modified
+version of GNU su.
+
+libgnomesu comes with the GUI frontend 'gnomesu' and a Nautilus component
+for Nautilus integration.
