Comment 2 Mike Fleetwood 2016-08-20 15:15:17 UTC

This is caused by Wayland not allowing processes run as a different user
to display on the desktop.  Therefore using "su" or "sudo" to display a
graphical application doesn't work.

Simple workaround is to run "xhost +local:" in the terminal first.

This is documented in the GParted forum here:
  [SOLVED] How to run GParted on a GNOME on Wayland desktop

This bug should be closed as a duplicate of bug 1274451.
(But I don't have permission to do that).

Thanks,
