In general you'd probably want to do lots of things differently for a system administrator type person. For example with procman, you'd probably also want it to start up in the mode "All Processes" for an admin. You could think of the two different modes really as separate applications targeting separate users; they just happen to share a lot of code. This whole discussion to me seems far too focused on the implementation detail (libgnomesu) which ends up dictating what kind of UI we want. It should work the other way around - we discuss the UI, and then the implementation falls out of that.
