Firestarter from Gnome

[de Selby]

I recently asked a question about problems with running Firestarter
firewall from Gnome and the unanimous suggestion was to right click on
the Firestarter menu icon -> Properties -> Command: change "gksu" to
"gksudo". However, I found that the entry is reset back to gksu after
each reboot, so I thought I'd post the permanent solution here for
anyone who's been having trouble running Firestarter from Gnome:

Basically, edit the file:  /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/firestarter.desktop 
(you might need root privileges for this)
Near the bottom of this file you'll see the following line: 
Exec=gksu /usr/sbin/firestarter

Change this to read:
Exec=gksudo /usr/sbin/firestarter

Pretty simple, but not obvious to us new linux users.
