Package: laptop-mode-tools
Version: 1.64-1
Severity: normal

After installing laptop-mode-tools, I've got a non-functioning menu item
in my XFCE4 menu:

System -> Laptop Mode Tools Configuration Tool

It does not work because it tries to run lmt-config-gui without specifying
its path. It does not work for a normal user, since it is located in
/usr/sbin.

And since it needs root priveliges, it should be called through
some kind of wrapper that requests the root password from the user, e.g.
gksu (or perhaps there is a standardised Debian way for this).

Btw, a better name for the menu item would be:

"Laptop mode tools configuration"

Both points have to do with the content of:

/usr/share/applications/laptop-mode-tools.desktop

Best regards
