I'm the only one who is really disturbed that with Wayland it is no longer possible to do stuff like 'sudo -u someUser someGraphicalApp'? Is there any workaround. Or did we lost this with Wayland forever?

  @bes I did not know this! If this is not possible (with that command at least), how do you start gedit as root as so many tutorials suggest?! .)

  I usually use 'gksu some-X-app' to launch root graphical apps from the command line. I don't know if that fixes the #Wayland problem !linux
