According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1274451 there are no plans for Wayland to support running graphical applications as root so that bug has been closed as WONTFIX. The correct fix is for Synaptic, and other graphical apps needing root, to be rewritten to run the GUI as a normal user and to use "polkit" for the parts where they need root access.
