wow, thanks for the quick answer! :)
but it still doesn't work. i'm pretty sure, that i'm missing something:
##############################
$ whoami
someone
$ sudo -u dude-user wine "/home/dude-user/.wine/drive_c/Program
Files/Dude/dude.exe"
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
[sudo] password for someone:
someone is not allowed to run sudo on localhost. This incident will be
reported.
$
##############################
the next try [like in the "Dude.desktop" file]: it prompts [GUI], that
it needs the password for the dude-user:
##############################
$ whoami
someone
$ gksu -u dude-user wine "/home/dude-user/.wine/drive_c/Program
Files/Dude/dude.exe"
##############################
