    Hi.

    AFAIR sudo does not transmit the X session. I heard years ago of
something called sudox. Dunno if it is available somewhere. I dislike
pkexec - just because of polkit - and used to use gksu or gksudo to run
synaptic. One can also fall back to 'ssh -X root@localhost synaptic' but
you must configure your ssh server to allow X sessions on root when
connection is on localhost.
