wouldn't you need root rights for that? so probably adding
'| sudo gainroot'
to the end? just a guess though. and would need rootsh installed.

What you really need is rootsh in front of command - it executes it with root priv. if you have rootsh installed. So:
rootsh echo 2 > ...
rootsh echo 2 > ...

Wow, what a bug. So obvious, but unnoticed till now. Anyway, when DCE widget resized to bigger height (with no. of lines) the widget itself is bigger, but the tapping area stays the same. This means that if you tap the widget in the lower area, it doesn't register it. Please fix this, because I'm using it for buttons: disconnect/connect/lock screen (via dbus) and I need some bigger buttons.
PS: I'm very busy and so the next version is expected to some time in the end of march when I'll have more time.

I use the LIRC program which has a socket issue whenever the phone is restarted. The issue is resolved by running the following command lines:
sudo gainroot
/etc/init.d/lirc start
Is there anyway to use this widget to run these so I do not have to open a terminal when I want to use LIRC?? Maybe two widgets using an echo command for both?

Similary to #177 you might want to use
rootsh /etc/init.d/lirc start
as commandline. Obviously you will need to have rootsh installed.
