This is one of those questions I think is obvious, but I can't figure it out. If I create a little script, such as the following: #!/bin/sh sudo /usr/bin/iptraf I can then drag this script to the panel. Right clicking on the button that is created allows me to select "run in a terminal window". Then, clicking on that button opens up a Bash terminal with a password prompt. If I drag the script to the desktop, I'm not offered the option to run in a terminal - how can I do that? -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
