So I tried the following from a post on AskUbuntu:

- Start a terminal
- $ xhost +local:
- Start another terminal
- $ sudo gparted
- Now GParted appears!

- Close GParted
- Use Mate menu to start GParted
- Nothing happens...
- ps shows no sign of gparted...
- Again type sudo gparted into one of the terminals
- Gparted appears

So what is the deal here, can Gparted only be started from a Teminal when using
VNC????

How can I make the magic happen also if I use the Mate Menu to start GParted?
