=====
And that's the problem here. When gparted is ported to gtk3, the xhost
workaround will stop working. And there's no incentive for GNOME to fix apps to
run as root under XWayland, if they won't be able to under Wayland. GNOME wants
to *encourage* apps to upgrade from gtk2 to gtk3 to get native Wayland support,
better HiDPI support and several other features and improvements.
Therefore, I'm closing this bug. Sorry.
