### Q: I'm having some trouble starting gparted

```
$ pkexec --disable-internal-agent /usr/sbin/gparted
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
(gpartedbin:1286199): Gtk-WARNING **: 17:31:50.245: cannot open display: :0
```

Either install `xauth` or run `xhost +si:localuser:root` as the user who
started labwc (not root) to fix this.
