I'm trying to make a KR.desktop entry that will let me run this from a menu Icon, but I'm stuck due to the root access requirement.

I tried making a script that ran something like:

sudo gainroot;/usr/bin/python /opt/liqbase/KR/KR.py
or
sudo gainroot /usr/bin/python /opt/liqbase/KR/KR.py

But that just dumps the script out at a root prompt and fails to execute KR.py until after the root shell is exited.

Is it possible to post a script to that would not require root privileges to flash the keyboard lights?
