2011-01-09 23:27:22 DrKay description Binary package hint: tuxpaint-config tuxpaint-config must be launched from command line, even though it shows up in the System -> Preferences menu, changes to tuxpaint-config will not be accepted because elevated user privileges are required. Could the user be prompted for the password when tuxpaint-config is launched, so that it wouldn't have to be launched from the command line using sudo (similar to how the user is prompted when they try to install software in the Software Center?) Binary package hint: tuxpaint-config tuxpaint-config must be launched from command line, even though it shows up in the System -> Preferences menu. If a user launches tuxpaint-config from the graphical menu, changes to tuxpaint-config will not be accepted because elevated user privileges are required. To fix this, could the user be prompted for the password when tuxpaint-config is launched, so that the configuration utility wouldn't have to be launched from the command line using sudo (similar to how the user is prompted when they try to install software in the Software Center?) This would be much more friendly to less-experienced users. Thank you.
