Bug Description
Hello,
kubuntu 18.04 beta 1
I often use :
X-KDE-Substitut
X-KDE-Username=root
in the file ".desktop" for applications who may have root id.
Example, luckybackup, system-
No bug in a plasma session.
With wayland, using the same desktop, the application asked for passwd and then stop.
I understood that is for security reasons. That's means all the "graphics" applications needing root id are prohibited.
Sorry, english is not my native langage.

Hello,
I have done the same test on KDE NEON LTS 5.12 with the same result.
X-KDE-Substitut
X-KDE-Username=root
can't be used.
