Better to use gksudo to launch graphical apps with administrative
privileges: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo says,

'NEVER use sudo to start graphical programs. You should always use
gksudo or kdesu to run such programs, otherwise new login attempts may
fail. If this happens and at login an error message reports: "Unable to
read ICE authority file", log in using the failsafe terminal and execute
the command below substituting your username for user.'
