Debian Packages Updater

Hello everybody,

My little AppIcons are going forward: yet finished are Meteo.app, 
using Igor Chubin wttr.in API, UpMem.app and Birthday.app.  The last 
displays a badge if an event is available.
They supply a pretty replacement for the previous Dockapps I used with 
Bash scripts.
Now, they are full GNUstep and Objective-C code.
See screenshot below...

Updater.app is quite finished:
- Badge notification is working.
- Panel with a list of upgradable packages too.
- Pending is the way to implement action of 'Upgrade' button.

To perform this final upgrade, I firstly worked on a Panel with an 
NSProgressBar control and a label to display the current name of the 
package being upgraded...
Unfortunately, I did not find any way to use 'sudo' nor 'pkexec' 
command within an NSTask and have an NSPanel to type the needed 
password.
So I think I will use an 'Xterm -e command' to allow the necessary 
password typing... and finally perform the upgrade like I did 
previously with a simpler  wrapper.

But maybe I lacked some useful documentation in the GNUstep libs-gui 
reference? Until now, not found.
