Comment 30 for bug 1712089

@PeterPall, why did you make bug #1551951 a duplicate of this bug? See comments 7 & 8 in bug #1551951 for explanation of why I separated all the Synaptic bugs from this bug in the first place.

This bug is a generic bug stating that graphical suid applications do not work on Wayland. This is *by design* therefore this bug will almost certainly be closed WONTFIX. The correct fix is for each application to be modified to not run its GUI as root and to use polkit to elevate privileges when it needs to write to files. Therefore there needs to be a bug for each app that can be tracked until the app is fixed. A single bug for all these apps will make managing the fixes very difficult.

Please undo what you did and make all the Synaptic bug reports separate again.
