And, according to the spec: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html it's not supposed to. Could you thus convert the icon to .png, please? > > Some method of su{,do}-to-root should be providen -- as is, the program > > fails to start claiming it needs root, and starting it as root manually > > involves some bits generally unknown by users who need a clicky-clicky > > tool (ie, the intended audience). > > for upstream Hrm, I then don't quite see what the intended audience for this package could be. The basic instructions how to run a GUI program as root (start a shell, find out $DISPLAY, su/sudo, set up display, cp ~user/.Xauthority ~, invoke from cmdline) are already far more complex than just running relevant adduser/usermod/deluser commands from a shell. And besides, running a GUI program as root is not that good an idea, compared to separating out the privileged parts (be it to an unreliable dbus complexity, or to a simple easily-auditable setuid helper). But really, I don't know enough about crossing privilege boundaries in a GUI to be comfortable reviewing this bit.
