    skidoo – app must be run as sudo from terminal

    So put it to rest, as “not a bug”?

    Seems odd to require elevated permissions to edit one’s home -pathed menu files
    and
    odd (compared to the other antiX utils) that it doesn’t check/prompt/exit advising the user to relaunch using sudo

    caprea, it would not have occurred to me to use “gksu” to launch a shell script…
    …but (OMG) the launchstring provided by antixcc.sh is, in fact, “gksu menu_manager.sh”

    Behind-the-scenes, the commandstring passed through gksu would be:
    sudo -H -S -u root –– /usr/local/bin/menu_manager.sh

    How that same commandstring succeeds via antixcc, yet fails from within lxterminal… idunno
