Gunther, thank you for your answer. Indeed, the program is designed to=20
run "/etc/init.d/net.ath0" command, for example. For this command to=20
run, it is needed the root password. Have you ever seen Synaptic or=20
other program that needs to do a admin task and asks the root password?=20
That's what I want to do.

Thank you again.

Best wishes,
Arthur

Simple solution:
Just pop up a box saying that the user has to start /etc/init.d/net.ath0
start before using your program.

This does not help either since your box would ask the root passwort in
the user process. su instead spawns the new process before asksing the
passwort. This reduces the risk that the passwort gets keylogged. 
In fact program would be a root passwort sniffer which has to be
rejected.
