GNOME3 and Modifying command-line arguments

[Khemara Lyn]

Thanks a lot for your solution,

I actually would like to create a new icon on the GNOME3 desktop or the 
"Favorites" bar so that a click on the icon will run a command (for 
example, "sudo gns3").

How could I do that wit GNOME3?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Khem
