Hello,

i want to add a program to my desktop panel but it needs to be ran as
root when clicked... How do make a it prompt for my root password when
I click on that application from a panel? I tried putting sudo in
front of it in hopes a prompt of some sort will come up but no luck.

Regards,
- Jake

PS. If it matters, I'm running Xfce but I have Gnome installed if I
need something from gnome.
