Hello to all !

I'm a member of Google's new "Summer of Code" program, and working for Ubuntu/GNOME on a project named "Gnome Panel Enhancements".

I have just subscribed to this list, and I know that beginning to post right now goes against a few "Netiquette" rules, but since participants are given a limited time for their work (just this summer), I need to be moving quite quick... Hope I don't get it all wrong :)

So, as one of the first things, I would like to make the GNOME menus to hide all of the items that require root privileges to non-sudoers. According to this thread :

        http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2005-May/006912.html

it has already been discussed on this list. I will be concentrating on the root privileges (rather than a more general "other-user" privilege).

I believe that adding a

        RootRequired=yes|no|optional

to the Desktop Entry Specs would do the job ? (Then, I should make the items with a "RootRequired=yes" field to be hidden for non-sudoers).


Do I get it right ? Is there something I am missing ? Any extra information is very welcome :)

Thanks a lot for the advice !
Manu Cornet
