Merry Christmas list members,

I am running Fluxbox windowmanager with Roxfiler filemanager (using
a panel launcher for common apps) and my question is, how can I
configure something like synaptic apt-get to run from a icon on the
panel as a user?

Apt-get requires root priv's to run.  The icon I have now just attempts
to run /usr/sbin/synaptic, which I receive a error msg stating only root
can run synaptic.

MandrakeUpdate requires root priv's for example, and when it is run as
a user, it prompts me for the root password.

Is there a script (which I wouldn't know how to create) or a link or...
which I could do in order for synaptic to run?

I checked my menus to see what was configured for synaptic to run, and
it shows for the command to run as;
kdesu /user/sbin/synaptic
which does not work for the icon I created on my panel.

TIA for any help or ideas
Steve
