		+	sux - <current_default_user> /usr/local/sbin/launcher.pl
		+	by replacing <current_default_user> with whatever name we wish to use.
		+	* For the sudoers case, as long as we add user to admin group, we can bypass modifying the "/etc/sudoers" file.
		+	(For this version of andLinux, I've found cobuntu as a default user and all my xfce or kde programs are launched under the cobuntu name until I've change it to my username at the xsession_cmd file.)
