Install with PackageKit without password

Is there a way to install packages with PackageKit without having to put in the root password every time I want to install a package? I set up sudo so I can install packages in a terminal without having to put in a password but I dont want to go to the terminal every time I want to install a package. And I dont want to become a root user or anything I just want to install packages without having to put in a password.

Ubuntu for the most part still uses "gksudo".

I guess you could set up sudo without a password, but that's just a terrible idea.
