[Discuss] Launch Shortcut as Sudo



Hi All,
I've created a nice little script on my BackTrack laptop.  I put an icon to
launch the script on the desktop, but I'm having two odd problems:
1. when I double click the icon the script I'm asked if I want to "Run in
Terminal" or just run.  Either one I pick the script never appears on the
screen.
2. Second, I need to ensure the script runs as the super user.

I really should know how to do this after using Linux for so long, but it's
one of those things that's just proving frustrating.
