is a Root Launcher, there are others as well but this one only works in Fedora based systems as far as I know. Its a graphical alternative to opening a terminal and using 'su'
It creates a Root session that you only need to password into the first time, it then runs in the background and launches tasks with Root privileges when you need them from a mouse click.
I have to say, this is a pretty stupid thing to have laying around. If you need to be root to do something that you cant setup your user for, you probably shouldnt be doing it for starters.
And if you know this, then you'd be logged into a terminal anyway...
