As simple as that: Because these files either should not interest you as a normal, average user, or if you're an advanced user there are way better and efficient ways to access them than the File Manager.

Nothing happens, I tried with "Terminal=true" too out of noobness but still no go.
I can click the icon, wait, click again... nothig.
Also, try adding the full path to the Exec line:
Exec=/usr/bin/root_leafpad.sh

Absolutely did not read the whole thread, to see ALL files on your N900, SSH WinSCP, you can even see the underwear on your N900!
Step by step guide here, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=23932
or
install
MC
or emelfm2
installation info here, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37741
either any of the above will let you see everything on your N900

Maybe we should leave it to sudoers... as long as none of the files there are edited it's less likely something gets damaged.
However not being able to parse a command via a shortcut or even a script is quite annoying... who's bright idea was it to limit such a basic function

It's about having same access as scp directly on the device. Emelfm2 can't do much unless it's launched as root.
We're discussing various ways of automating a launch as root, no matter what program we're talking about.
Shouldn't we make a sudoers package available in the extras-devel that would allow full emelfm2 root access?

We could of couse do that but I don't think a simple way to launch a filemanager as root is the best idea. Yodude explains this prety well in the other emelfm2 as root thread. And I would *never* recommend anybody who does not already have sudo experience to mess with the sudoers file. The best option is a separate script that launches it and a desktop icon for that. Even thats pretty dangerous.
Did u run the leafpad script in a non root terminal?

Yup, no root... or rather I tried to launch it from a shortcut.

this .desktop entry seems to work for me, please try and verify:
Code:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=emelFM2 Root Exec=/bin/busybox sh -c 'echo emelfm2 | sudo gainroot' Icon=emelfm2 Type=Application
