I don't think anything needs to be added to the spec. The spec gives you a full exec line, you can use it to exec gksudo or use a console-helper approach or polkit or any other mechanism you like. No need to add dead weight to the spec for this. Matthias _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
