[Bug 1758591] Re: gparted crashes in installed Lu 18.04

[Sudip B.K.]

I tried reinstalling libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 but didn't work for me. I found a
post in askubuntu.com and doing this worked:

$ xhost SI:localuser:root
$ gparted

Seems like the bug which doesn't allow any root UI to run in Wayland is
still not fixed.

Title:
  gparted crashes in installed Lu 18.04

Status in gparted package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Working with an install to HD of Lubuntu 18.04 looking through the
  application menu "gparted" is not listed.  Trying to install gparted
  thru terminal says, "gparted is the latest edition" . . . but no where
  to be seen and wouldn't launch through terminal.

  Going to synaptic package manager and searching "gparted" shows that
  it is installed, but not appearing anywhere in menus.  I used synaptic
  to "reinstall" gparted, after that the "gparted" menu item shows up,
  clicking on it opens the window requesting password, the cursor spins
  to indicate "activity" and then stops . . . gparted does not open or
  appear.  And no crash report is generated.
