Configurable Default User

Description

For more convenience, particularly within scripts, it would be nice if I could specify a default user which is then already filled in when gsudo asks for the elevated privileges.

Example:

gsudo -u myAdminUser

would present me with a credential dialog where myAdminUser is already filled in as the user.

The user can't be prefilled on the Windows UAC popup. So at first sight, this is not doable.
But, this could be part of a bigger effort. I am slowly making up my mind about a design that could make this work.

Bottom line: this may take a while. But I take your feedback (and others, like #150) into consideration.
Please be patient...

Hi @samba2!
You are welcome. Several people requested this so eventually it was first on the list.
And sorry, I did not meant to close the issue yet. My intention was to keep it open until release, but GitHub closed it automatically when I merged the code.
This will be available in the next release, which may be out today or tomorrow.
