Replying to [comment:2 Krejzi]:
> I've now seen which, sorry for the noise about that. I do agree that you
could use "type -p pkexec", but there isn't any need for that since you
can just use a simple sed to modify gparted .desktop file to use pkexec.
The script isn't necessary at all. Polkit configuration file. however, is.

belongs.
Then gparted could link directly to that part.
> Add optional configuration to Sudo page to utilize ssh-askpass if it's
installed
> Add a note to gparted that links that sudo package should be configured
for ssh-askpass
OK.
> Also, I find the note "Any graphical program requiring root privileges
can be run using "pkexec <program>"" to be incorrect.
Incomplete. Just have to add with a configuration file. Intention was to
get both alternatives in the same level so the user chooses.
> pkexec won't run any GUI app by default unless you create a
configuration file which explicitly tells pkexec "this app should be run
as root but it's gui app."
