Hi Gene
Would that not be considered a security hole you could drive a 65 foot
refer with 88,000 lbs of swinging beef thru, on a cooked spaghetti
WV/USA road? (its the only kind of roads we have here in West Virginia)
It sure would to me. But folks call me paranoid too.

You missed the point, it demands a root pw, that
on this wheezy
system, does not exist, so it cannot be launched from the menu entry
by any pw entered. The pw used for doing a sudo is not accepted.
That was my point.
Don't put it in the menu's at all if the user cannot use his sudo to
get the root rights it needs.
what happens, if you do - if you are allowed to start su from sudo:
xhost + # to allow other users to access the xserver
sudo su # to become root without a password
export DISPLAY=:0 # set the DISPLAY variable to access the xserver
ksysv # start the wanted program
If this works, you can use the program without a password.
