Fedora 14

i can run a program with another user with:

(command before): xhost local:transmission-user

the command:
sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk &

from the gnome-terminal.

But: 

echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open\n\n[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nTerminal=true\nIcon[en_US]=gdu-encrypted-lock\nName[en_US]=transmission-user\nExec=sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk &\nName=transmission-user\nIcon=gdu-encrypted-lock' > transmission-user.desktop
chmod +x transmission-user.desktop

it doesn't work, if i put the command in a .desktop file.

Why?
