Add the application to sudoers by creating a file called /etc/sudoers.d/emelfm2.sudoers containing: user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/emelfm2 Then use Exec = /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/emelfm2 or Exec = osso-xterm "sudo emelfm2"
... For future reference: Use visudo instead of editing sudoers directly. visudo tells you if a line will **** up the entire sudo system when exiting the editor.
