¿of course? That's a decision of Ubuntu makers and Ubuntu's the only
distribution that does things that way. So it's not "of course", it's
"because of" a non-sense decision in "only a distribution"

do you need a graphic interface? in that case you'll have to use shell "gksu
\"chown... \" .. "
but if you don't need the graphic interface you can use sudo directly. Take
a look at "man sudo" and you'll know a lot of different options to do it.
