I've got a custom applet on my panel that is actually 'gnomesu gedit.' It works as expected, prompting me for a password before going into gedit.
I'd like to take it one step further and have it also prompt me for an optional path so I can open gedit right into an existing file on my system.
How would I go about this?
if by 'custom applet' you mean a 'custom launcher', then I'd suggest you
write a simple script. Using zenity, for instance, you can prompt the
user for any information you want in nice looking GTK dialogs. For
instance:
#!/bin/sh
patch_file=$(zenity --file-selection)
gnomesu gedit $patch
