[manjaro-dev] new sonar desktop settings update needed

[kendell clark]

hi all
I'm just about to release new sonar images. The copy of sonar-gnome and 
sonar-mate-settings in the repositories still has the thus desktop icon. 
I'm wanting to switch over to calamares so I can test and make sure it's 
accessible. I've already switched the desktop file in desktop-settings 
to use calamares. Which brings up another ... I'm not sure if it's an 
issue or not. The calamares.desktop's exec line reads, sudo 
/usr/bin/calamares. When pressing enter on this desktop icon, calamares 
never launches. I'm presuming that's because sudo is prompting for a 
password but there's nowhere to enter it. Is there a way to launch it 
through policy kit? I've tried both pkexec and gksudo, but something 
with the accessibility stack prevents orca from reading the window that 
pops up. but if it's launched via sudo, orca reads it. I'm just not sure 
how to launch it via the icon without the user having to enter in the 
password.
Thoughts?
