Sorry, I was being a bit of a git there - I don't know what came over
me, I'll try and be more helpful. What you want is "userhelper -w"

You will need to configure /etc/security/console.apps/nautilus and /
etc/pam.d/nautilus, then run "userhelper -w nautilus"

The userhelper manpage will help a lot, as will examples in those
directories above.
