            Bug ID: 772875
           Summary: [wayland] can't run application as root using sudo
    Classification: Platform
           Product: gtk+
           Version: 3.21.x
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Backend: Wayland
          Assignee: gtk-b...@gtk.org
          Reporter: sa...@sadiqpk.org
        QA Contact: gtk-b...@gtk.org
                CC: r...@robster.org.uk, wayland-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

No application can be run as root.

Eg: 'sudo gedit' Gives the following output:

on Debian testing:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect:
Connection refused

(gedit:3460): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

Version details:
gnome-shell: 3.22.0
wayland-protocols: 1.7
libwayland-bin: 1.11

on Fedora 24:
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(gedit:2349): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0

Version details:
gnome-shell: 3.20
wayland-protocols: 1.4
libwayland-server: 1.10

Please reassign to the right module if not related to gtk+ (or forward to
wayland if it's an upstream bug)

Thanks.
