@boredsquirrel , like pkexec, run0 doesn’t invoke (GUI?) software, as the superuser:
I forgot that kdesu is fairly unmaintained: pkexec Consequently, I thought, recently, that pkexec might act as a solution, because I’d had success with it on the CLI: However, it doesn’t appear to be an improvement: As...

If someone is able to confirm that it’s a bug, I’ll report it. However, it regardless demonstrates that it’s not sufficiently reliable for common use cases (yet):
