Thanks Stefano, that works a treat. However, Iv asked about this before 
(Not in relation to Gambas) and was told that doing this would leave an 
unencrypted copy of my password in the .bash-history file.

That's why I was trying to get gksudo to ask me for a password, so the 
system is still dealing with the security and I'm simply passing along 
the commands.

Failing this as an option, is there a way to force the program itself to 
be run only under sudo/gksudo, so that the system asks for the password 
before the program runs? (In the same way as I always have to enter my 
password before I can open Synaptic for example)

I know this can be done with a command line once the program is compiled 
and installed, but can this be done from within the development environment?

Thanks
