Re: [orca-list] Root applications?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I don't know if it will help in this case, but you should try editing your 
/usr/share/applications/gparted.desktop file
in the exec line put gksu befor the current command string. Gksudo would be a last chance thing to try if 
gksu dos not work, but I doubt whether  gksudo 
would work in any case.
You could just try running gksu gparted from the run dialog first to see it it'll work for you. 
I don't have mate 1.10 installed anywhere to test at the moment.
