You can write some kind of wrapper script #!/bin/sh PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin sudo firestarter
or maybe add `&` #!/bin/sh PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin sudo firestarter & then put this script somewhere in /usr/bin and in desktop file Exec=your_script_wrapper_name But i think, that there is some docs about desktop files syntax I don't know exactly where, but look here http://freedesktop.org/ 28.07.06, Chuckk Hubbard<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> написал(а):
More news- I replaced the line "Exec=firestarter" with "Exec=sudo firestarter." Now when I start up, firestarter is open, but somehow the Gnome splash screen stays on until I click it. I don't know if it is the .desktop file that is opening firestarter, or Gnome's attempt to preserve the previous session. Now, the firestarter icon doesn't come up on the splash screen; I'm guessing because it's actually executing sudo and not firestarter? Interesting.
