+.SH PRIVILEGE ESCALATION
+
+The tomb commandline tool needs to acquire super user rights to
+execute most of its operations.
+
+Once the rights are acquired Tomb executes as root only those commands
+requiring it, while it executes desktop applications as the user.
+
+The escalation to super user privileges is triggered automatically by
+calling 'gksu' or 'sudo' commands.
