[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1764252] Re: X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true / root can't be used in wayland

** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  kubuntu 18.04 beta 1
  
  I often use :
  
  X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
  X-KDE-Username=root
  
  in the file ".desktop" for applications who may have root id.
  
  Example, luckybackup, system-config-samba
  
  No bug in a plasma session.
  
  With wayland, using the same desktop, the application asked for passwd
  and then stop.
  
+ I understood that is for security reasons. That's means all the
+ "graphics" applications needing root id are prohibited.
+ 
  Sorry, english is not my native langage.
