Bug Description

version: Jaunty Beta

When a "Desktop User" (or any user that does not have the "Administer the system" right) tries to launch any of
the "System -> Administration" applications, i.e. computer-janitor AFTER having inserted the passwords gets this message:
--
Failed to run computer-janitor-gtk as user root.
The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
--

Wouldn't it be nice to have only the applications for which one has the execution right shown in the main menu?
