@Phillip, Wayland actually does accommodate it, I have an Arch system
where it works perfectly fine with running GParted as root. The reason
it doesn't work on Ubuntu is not completely because of Wayland, but
rather because of how Wayland has been set up by the Ubuntu GNOME team.
Which is intentional for security. I don't know, but you might be able
to disable this since it's probably somewhere in the configuration. I
don't know, I just know that on Arch there is no issue with this with
the standard Wayland.
** Summary changed:
- Wayland default policy prohibits root applications
+ GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland
** No longer affects: wayland (Ubuntu)
** Also affects: gparted (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
