rp-pppoe wake up!

On lots of forums, wiki pages and *guides, one can see instructions like this for rp-pppoe.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=RP-PPPoE
Comment=RP-PPPoE
Exec=gksudo /opt/rp-pppoe-3.8/go-gui
Icon=pppoeconf.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;
What people don't realize is that every time they start this program, they compile it all over again. Users should replace 'gksudo /opt/rp-pppoe-3.8/go-gui' with 'gksudo tkpppoe'. And start /opt/rp-pppoe-3.8/go-gui only once; to compile and install it. Not every time :)
