Re: how to run kdesu without asking password?

[erikmccaskey64 <erikmccaskey64@xxxxxxxx>]

if i 

visudo
MYUSER ALL=(transmission-user) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk

and 

xhost local:transmission-user
sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk

then it works perfectly. but my original problem is that it needs a "gnome-terminal" (i need the "kdesu" or whatever in a .desktop file):

echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open\n\n[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nTerminal=true\nIcon[en_US]=gdu-encrypted-lock\nName[en_US]=transmission-user\nExec=sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk\nName=transmission-user\nIcon=gdu-encrypted-lock' > transmission-user.desktop

chmod +x transmission-user.desktop

this is important:

Terminal=true

if i set this to false, it doesn't work. if i set this to true, sudo perfectly works, but theres a gnome-terminal opened.

theres no gksu under Fedora 14.

but thank you!
