Description Juan Salaverria 2002-08-28 02:20:01 UTC 
xsu is an interface for the command `su - username -c command` in Gnome. When the user executes xsu, he will be prompted for a command, a username and a password. If the username and password are correct xsu will execute the command   as the entered user. So if the username was root, then the command will be executed as root.
