I noticed a few, subtle differences in the two files and decided to use this one, if, for no other reason than consistency. >> In addition to GParted, I would like to employ this method for the >> Catalyst Control Center for my ATI-Radeon chip. >> > You have to edit both .desktop files and add "pkexec /path/to/program" > to the Exec= line.

Right now gparted.desktop has
"Exec= /usr/sbin/gparted %f" To add pkexec to this file, would it read "pkexec /usr/bin" or similar to the entry now "/usr/bin/pkexec %f"? Also would I place it before the gparted line and separate it by space or ";". Or would it be better to have another "Exec" line before or after the gparted line? Thanks for your help, Armin.
