Bug Description
Some Checkbox tests currently use gksudo to workaround the bug where tests cannot be run by the backend as root. The problem is that gksudo does not seem to preserve the PATH environment variable even if passed the -k option. So, all the tests using gksudo return empty output because the command itself is not being found.

The solution for now is to simply specify the absolute path to the script instead of relying on the PATH environment variable.
