Details

Using gparted 1.1.0-1 with the Sway compositor for Wayland, the program fails to start under a normal user session.
This even after proper authentication.


Unit \xe2\x97\x8f.service does not exist, proceeding anyway.

Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(gpartedbin:94401): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:39:49.776: cannot open display: :0


After some searching, this is resolved by installing xorg-xhost.
I believe it should be added as an optdepends for at least some Wayland compositors, or a full dependency.

xorg-xhost should really only be an opt-depend, not a hard depend for gparted.
At least Gnome on Wayland functions just fine without it, so it is really not needed (= not a dependency) on those systems!
