[Sugar-devel] Sugarizing an application

[Daniel Castelo]

First, I tried to sugarized gnome-ppp (made with  C and gtk) and execute it
as an activity. But it doesn't looks fine. Now i am thinking in rewrite
gnome-ppp in python like "native" Activity. The problem that i have, is that
I need to execute wvdial as root and write the resolv.conf file with the dns
configuration. How can I run things with root privileges?

Thanks.
