Perhaps you can install it SUID root?
But, needing root privileges is normally a sign you're doing something bad. And the best thing is to drop them as soon as possible in your program.

have to admit not done it yet, but .... you can use the sudoers file on installation to allow certain root commands to be run 
Relying on runind "sudo .... command" is probably not the best way :P

At the moment I'm using my .desktop file to start with root privileges but I really need a way to get them from within the app,
as doing it the way I am means some can't use it(due to root pw) and that it uses the root/default theme in the GUI .
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks
