[solved] OpenBox Menu items with root privilege

hi there,

my first own forum thread.  I've been using crunchbang for 2 days now (i've been using plain ubuntu for the last 3). First of all, I really like the distro.  Nice lean, not overloaded but still all the great hardware recognition.

I especially love the nicely preconfigured openbox manager, which is a blessing for me as even after three years of linux I'm not too thrilled about editing files and tweaking every last bit!

now my question:

1) when trying to edit the menu, i tried to create an item for pysdm, which requires root privileges.  when i entered "sudo pysdm" in the execute bit and tried to run it, it just would start.
    How do i work around that or is it simply not possible to add sudo commands to the menu?

thanks for the help in advance.

cheers
