Hi,

When trying to launch isodumper from the menu, in file $HOME/.cache/lxsession/LXDE/run.log, I saw a line saying: "Refusing to render service to dead parents."

This problem is known to occur when the software that should be launched uses a double fork.

Sadly, I think it is easier to modify /usr/bin/isodumper rather than to fix LXDE or LXQt).  In my tests, replacing "exec /usr/bin/pkexec" by only "pkexec" solves the problem.

Regards,

Nico.
