I have a desktop icon/launcher that I've created. It runs the way I need it to, but I have to right click and choose Open as Administrator. I prefer a clean desktop, so I'd like to move this icon to the panel instead.
I have done that, but now I don't know how to choose "Open as Administrator" on an quick launch icon that is the panel.
Is there a workaround for this?

gparted-pkexec works for me for my gparted launcher in taskbar. It prompts for a password when hit.

This command works when I put it in a terminal:
Code:
sudo openvpn --config /home/torrey/Downloads/client.ovpn
As a
panel launcher, nothing pops up. Here's how the
panel launcher is currently setup:

This is how the
desktop launcher is set up. When I right click on it and select Open as Administrator, it works. But remember, I'm trying to remove this
desktop launcher and would prefer to use a
panel launcher instead.
