?package(gksu):\
needs="x11"\
section="Apps/System"\
title="X-Terminal as root (GKsu)"\
hints="Runs an X terminal application. Uses GKsu to ask the password."\
icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/gksu-debian.xpm"\
command="/usr/bin/gksu -u root /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator"

the fields "description" and "longtitle" aren't described in the

stores into the "hints" field
