[Tfug] An easy (I hope!) Gnome question...

[Jim March]

I also tried it from within gnome using alt-F2 and "run in terminal"
checked on so I can enter the password.  It didn't ask for the
password which matches the "command not found" behavior in a real
terminal (sudo doesn't need a password if it's not going to function).
