If i use your Solution i get an xterm where i have to type in a Password. So i just replaced the Exec-Line to "Exec= /usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/boostfm.sh" The only problem is that it starts a window with nothing in it and just the name BoostFM. If i switch to the Desktop it is gone and worked. Don't know how to fix this problem. greetings Christopher
