[solved] Awesome WM, run application as root

Hello guys
I want to run gparted using mod+p
gparted must be run as root, but nothing appears... it doesn't ask for my root password.

How to run it as root directly from mod+p ?

Install gksu and run "gksu gparted".

You could also try running gparted_polkit instead of gparted.

"gparted_polkit" didn't work for me
But "gksu gparted" is perfect, thank you
