Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Hello,

a small problem with the menu entry for xconsole in xbase-clients:
normal user can't/shouldn't use it, but with the actual conf, only
root can use this from the window menu. Why not define it using sudo,
so that selected users can access it directly from the menu ? Patch
included to show how I implemented it locally.

Best regards

Pascal Dupuis
