[Bug 1594047] Re: menus do not appear in the menu bar

[Jan Claeys]

That is because GParted is running as root and as such has no access to
the service that shows menus outside the application.  The same happens
when you run other GUI applications as root or as another user than the
desktop user (e.g. Synaptic).
