oem@zz64:~$ pkexec gtkorphan
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:  at 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.26/Gtk2.pm line 126.

With wayland not setting xwayland authorization
 
(https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1541135.html),
and gksudo been deprecated 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/1712471),
pkexec also fail to get a display.

So back to 'sudo' to try using gui app, which is not encouraged, as ibus
warns not being 'root'.
