How do I create a launcher for the Xampp control panel?

I've just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my DEll v1450 laptop.

I downloaded and installed XAMPP 1.7.7

After that I created xampp control panel by using this command:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/xampp-control-panel.desktop

File content:

[Desktop Entry]

Comment=Start/Stop XAMPP

Name=XAMPP Control Panel

Exec=gksudo “python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py”

Icon[en_CA]=/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/devices/network-wired.svg

Encoding=UTF-8

Terminal=false

Name[en_CA]=XAMPP Control Panel

Comment[en_CA]=Start/Stop XAMPP

Type=Application

Icon=/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/devices/network-wired.svg

The file has "execute" permission already.

I tried to launch the launcher in Dash home but nothing appeared after typing my password.

What did I wrong here?

Try to run this command:

gksudo python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py

And I got this error:

Error importing pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade

Install python-libglade solved the problem:

sudo apt-get install python-glade2

Hope it's useful for someone.
