It's a bit convoluted. First, you must create a file with the same
name as the application you want in /etc/security/console.apps. In it,
you should have lines similar to:
USER=root
PROGRAM=/path/to/program/to/run
SESSION=true
So, for a program called "fnork" in /usr/local/bin, create an
/etc/security/console.apps/fnork file and have it contain:
USER=root
PROGRAM=/usr/local/bin/fnork
SESSION=true
Next, you must enter create another file in /etc/pam.d that has the
same name (in this case, /etc/pam.d/fnork) that contains the PAM
authentication information. For example:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_permit.so
session optional pam_xauth.so
account required pam_permit.so
Then you can create your launcher using the GUI stuff.
