System = Fedora 38 LXQT

$ pkexec qterminal

qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin “xcb” in “” even though it was found.

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Change the exec line to Exec=qterminal -e sudo -i. This might ask for a password depending on your sudo configuration and then will spawn a root shell.
