How can I open a program, such as synaptic and gparted, in dmenu while granting administrative privileges?

What I meant was, how do I run it from dmenu (which you call when your press Alt+F3)?

Bind "sudo ~/.config/dmenu/dmenu-bind.sh" in your rc.xml on any keys you like.
Alternatively you could config gmrun for this.
