I'm not sure that it can be done, but if it can be I'd think that it would be considered a security risk unless the password is encrypted into the fluxbox menu. I do know that even when in KDE and you go to use the "super-user terminal" it asks for a password.
Maybe someone else knows more.

Well, if it's a security risk, I suppose I'll just not be lazy and type my password.
