Examples: - note: to get direct access to gui apps, 'xhost +si:localuser:root' is first executed into a terminal (then synaptic can be used, and other gui app should too) - so today i've tried to run 'gtkorphan' from the menu list: nothing happened. Then i ran 'sudo gtkorphan' from the terminal, and the application was opened as expected (with an expected 'ibus' warning). Then i ran 'gksudo gtkorphan', the dialog box asked for password, but nothing could be written (focus lost).
