There are ways to automate all of that. It’s a bit complex and lengthy, but you’ll only have to do it once. Maybe someone in your forum will post it, and you can copy/paste through the terminal. Then create a symlink to it.

Let's say I was logged in as "user." I plug in my iPod, then go to terminal to mount it. Then, as "su", I launch gtkPod from the terminal. That would give me root power in gtkPod to do the add/delete operations I need to do on the iPod, but without being in a "root" desktop session, correct? Or is it that, whenever I do a "su" in terminal, my entire session goes from a "user" session to a "root" session?
