gparted & OpenBox & gmrun
 
I have a very odd issue ... I cannot launch gparted from the Openbox menu or from gmrun... Though when typed in the terminal it launches and is fine.

All paths are correct ... Here is my Openbox menu entry:
Code:

    <item label="Gparted">
        <action name="Execute">
          <execute>
              gksudo gparted
          </execute>
        </action>
    </item>

I have tried with gksu, gksudo, sudo & using bash aliases.

Any idea's

Provide full paths to the executables, don't rely on search paths. This is because a user's search paths aren't necessarily the same as root's, or those of "gksudo".
