    Problem creating item in Main Menu

    There is a folder in my home folder called wbfs, in this folder there is a executable that need root access to work properly.

    In a terminal if I type

    sudo ./wbfs/wbfs

    it will ask me for password and it will launch just fine. If I type the same in the Command: field of the item properties (Launcher Properties), well nothing happen. I also tried

    sudo ./home/cygoku/wbfs/wbfs

    still wihout any luck.
