That is Windowmanager/Desktop dependand. For KDE, you can e.g. create links
to applications that instruct the KDE to first acquire root privileges. As
gnome and KDE try to become more cooperative especially in config-issues,
you might be lucky and can use one mechanism for both.

However, this is neither a python nor a general unix thing. For better
answers, try and search the KDE/gnome resources.
