A notification window is displayed in the dapper version of ubuntu if anything
was run as root with a cached password. Do you think that is sufficient? It
allows currently not to "block" a attempt to run something as root, it just informs.
I think a indicator in the notification area is not easy to do from a technical
POV (requires something that monitors the sudo cache in the background etc).
Thanks for your bugreport.
