Bug Description

The Application Menu shortcut that comes with luckybackup when installed in Ubuntu contains 'su-to-root' in the launcher arguments. This is NOT necessary and causes various problems, such as locking out the configuration folder ~/.luckybackup to the regular user running the application - forcing them to run this application using su-to-root or sudo forever more.

Further, any network mounts that are currently established by a user are 'invisible'. They don't show up because the regular user that mounted these remote locations is not being used! Even going to the full path of /run/users/1000/gvfs/#sharename doesn't work because the sudo-ran luckybackup doesn't know what to do with "another" user's gvfs folder.

Please fix this by altering the installed Application Menu shortcut, and remove su-to-root. It is not needed! Just the luckybackup command works.
