Ease-of-use patch to klik's install

[GregorR]

I made a patch to install to make it pop up an xterm, rxvt, konsole or gnome-terminal and su to run klik-cmg-install-root, rather than just popping up a message box telling the user to run it as root. For new users, this should be significantly nicer.

I don't know if I can properly include it here, but I'll try:

--- install	2005-12-20 13:11:44.000000000 -0500
+++ install.xterm	2006-01-02 19:17:29.000000000 -0500
