I found a (lengthy) guide to doing this but it is for gksu which is gone. I have to imagine there’s an easy way. I am running Ubuntu. There is no specific use case, it is just a feature I miss from windows.

That comment meant anything that needs root will prompt for it WITHOUT you running as root. Running GUI apps as root directly won’t work well (1, it isn’t a good idea. 2, your user likely owns the X session)
