Hi,

I don't know if "xhost +" and similar do solve the problem in your
special case. However, at least your desktop file can execute a script.

The Exec line could be "Exec=/usr/local/bin/my_script.sh %f" and
my_script.sh could be something like

  #!/bin/dash
  xhost +SI:localuser:root
  gksudo gparted "$@"
  exit

Regards,
Ralf
