its a tiny problem, so i didn`t dig too deep into it. Perhaps one of you might give me a quick workaround:
when i open synaptic from the menu a "terminal" opens and asks for my root-password.
i enter it and get this:

Code: Select all

env: -c No such file or directory
Incorrect password or command failed. Try again(y/n):

When i open a terminal and open synaptic as root all is ok.
thanks for your time

Here the command line in /etc/X11/icewm/programs is

Code: Select all

menu "Gerenciamento de Pacotes" folder {
  prog    "Synaptic Package Manager" /usr/share/synaptic/pixmaps/synaptic_32x32.xpm /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic"
}

and it works.

i compared your entry with mine and they are equal. During that i had the idea to install gksu and now am getting a pop-up-window asking for my root-password and may open synaptic (might be i have removed gksu beforehand, i`m not sure). thanks
