Display zenity window from panel laucher

Hello,

I try to run an application from my panel. It works fine if I want to execute a simple command but I have a problem when my command contains zenity call...

When i execute my command with zenity in terminal it works. But when I execute same command from panel the zenity window is not displayed.

Is there a way to work around?

Thank you in advance

if your command requires a shell you need to launch a shell fist eg:

/bin/sh -c "$COMMAND"

I have a shortcut (running xfreerdp) in my panel but i don't want to write my password in the command so I use zenity when I execute the command in terminal it works but not from my panel.

Still not working despite /bin/sh -c
