Since I've upgraded, desktop shortcuts which need root privileges don't work. I can't even make reboot shortcut work, let alone openvpn stuff. For example, what needs to be put in exec line of desktop file for reboot command in PR1.2?

Myself I always used two scripts. One calls rootsh on the other, and the response is passed back up to the desktop command widget. Still seems to work in 1.2.

I'm not talking about dcew, but .desktop files which define shortcuts/icons.

Exec=osso-xterm "echo "reboot" | root" should work
Or just make a service.

It should, but it doesn't. It worked that way before PR1.2.

How can a service be made?

I've solved it using sudoers file in etc/sudoers.d and running update-sudoers. Then put in desktop file's exec line: /usr.../osso-xterm 'sudo script.sh'
