I have a desktop icon/launcher that I've created.  It runs the way I need it to, but I have to right click and choose Open as Administrator.  I prefer a clean desktop, so I'd like to move this icon to the panel instead.

I have done that, but now I don't know how to choose "Open as Administrator" on an quick launch icon that is the panel. 

Is there a workaround for this?

gparted-pkexec works for me for my gparted launcher in taskbar. It prompts for a password when hit.

This command works when I put it in a terminal:

As a panel launcher, nothing pops up.  Here's how the panel launcher is currently setup:



This is how the desktop launcher is set up.  When I right click on it and select Open as Administrator, it works.  But remember, I'm trying to remove this desktop launcher and would prefer to use a panel launcher instead.

Try the Launcher like this:

Command:

Options: "Run in terminal" DEACTIVATED!
