can't start Fern from Ubuntu Launcher sidebar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. added Fern Wifi Cracker to the Ubuntu launcher
2. click the Fern Wifi Cracker icon on the Ubuntu Launcher
3. nothing happens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I excpected the program to launch.  It does launch fine from terminal with 
running as sudo

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.9 on Ubuntu 13.10

Please provide any additional information below.
I had this working some time ago and remember I had to do something to get it 
to work, but I don't remember what it was.  Then today I decided to add the 
backtrack repository and updated it and it showed an update to Fern.  I 
installed it and it got totally jacked up.  I had to do the regular install 
from the original download and I removed the backtrack repository.  I launched 
Fern and updated it from within the app just fine.  But unable to launch it 
from the Ubuntu Launcher sidebar.

I found the answer:

1) Pin the application to the launcher as normal.

2) Locate the applications .desktop file which will be in either:

    /usr/share/applications/APPNAME.desktop
    ~/.local/share/applications/APPNAME.desktop
    or somewhere else, use locate .desktop|grep APPAME

3) Open with gedit:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/APPNAME.desktop

4) Change then line

Exec=APP_COMMAND

to

Exec=gksudo -k -u root APP_COMMAND

5) Save
