And yes, I had deliberately, for convenience, includes all *sbin/ into my path. I'll fix it. > And since it needs root priveliges, it should be called through > some kind of wrapper that requests the root password from the user, e.g. > gksu (or perhaps there is a standardised Debian way for this). This is the problem. From what I've looked so far, there's no neutral way of doing it. I wish there was an xdg-su command which would have called the appropriate helper tool. If you have ideas, please share. BTW, I did add a notification to the user about the root privilege. It was committed to the branch but will be part of next release. Perhaps it is time for the new release. > Btw, a better name for the menu item would be: > > "Laptop mode tools configuration" > > Both points have to do with the content of: > > /usr/share/applications/laptop-mode-tools.desktop Thank you. Fixed. Will be part of next upload. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention."
