[Bug 1764252] [NEW] X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true / root can't be used in wayland

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Hello,

kubuntu 18.04 beta 1

I often use :

X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
X-KDE-Username=root

in the file ".desktop" for applications who may have root id.

Example, luckybackup, system-config-samba....

No bug in a plasma session.

With wayland, using the same desktop, the application asked for passwd
and then stop.

I understood that is for security reasons. That's means all the
"graphics" applications needing root id are prohibited.

Sorry, english is not my native langage.
