@Martin Wimpress (flexiondotorg)
yes, because of caja-gksu. It does not work under Wayland.

Bug description:
Posting here what gnome says about porting to wayland, and their
tests:
GNOME Applications under Wayland
GTK+ has a Wayland backend. If it was enabled at compile-time, you can run a GTK+ application under Wayland simply by:
GDK_BACKEND=wayland gnome-calculator
Applications that use Clutter or clutter-gtk also need the Clutter Wayland backend enabled:
GDK_BACKEND=wayland CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland cheese
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/Applications
======> so hope the settings are well set at compile time; maybe a
rebuilt to get sure all apps are ok.
********************************************************************************************************************************************
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 17.10
2. Install application from above list and menu package (if missed, for zenmap, see bug 1713274) - full list from - https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Exec%3Dsu-to-root+filetype%3Adesktop+path%3A*%2Fapplications%2F*&perpkg=1 , https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Exec%3Dgksudo+filetype%3Adesktop+path%3A*%2Fapplications%2F* and https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=Exec%3Dgksu+filetype%3Adesktop+path%3A*%2Fapplications%2F* .
3. Try to launch $APP_NAME from shortcut
4. Get error window:
Failed to run $APP_NAME as user root.
Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
Expected results:
* $APP_NAME may be run as root
Actual results:
* unable to run $APP_NAME as root
Additional info:
$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
SI:localuser:artful
$ export | grep "SESSION\|DESK"
declare -x DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus"
declare -x DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID="1082dacfd3a20e972150382958079482700000012280008"
declare -x DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome"
declare -x GDMSESSION="gnome"
declare -x GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID="this-is-deprecated"
declare -x SESSION_MANAGER="local/artful:@/tmp/.ICE-unix/1228,unix/artful:/tmp/.ICE-unix/1228"
declare -x XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="GNOME"
declare -x XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP="gnome"
declare -x XDG_SESSION_ID="2"
declare -x XDG_SESSION_TYPE="wayland"
and this operations does not help:
artful at artful:~$ xhost +si:localuser:root
localuser:root being added to access control list
artful at artful:~$ gksudo zenmap
Error copying '/home/artful/.Xauthority' to '/tmp/libgksu-AgXCxW': No such file or directory
