Running apps as root (eg: Ethereal) from Gnome Menu

Guys,

Gentoo newbie here. Under redhat/fedora, there is such a thing called
consolehelper which will automatically pop out a window asking for the
root password.

This happens whenever a user clicks onto a program on the Gnome/KDE menu
for a root-only app such as Ethereal/Etherape.

Is there something equilvalent on Gentoo?
