Thanks Nik,
Temporary fix (loging out to Xfce is horrible!).
Example MX tool Menu Command:
su-to-root -X -c mx-packageinstaller
Works from command line:
tdesu mx-packageinstaller
Best,
Michael Issue:
In TDE in MX18 (stretch) the MX Tools apps would open in TDE.
In TDE in MX19 (buster) the MX Tools that need to run as root will not
open in TDE. The behavior is click the menu item and nothing happens
(e.g. do not get any prompts for password).
MX Dev:
“What does TDE Buster use to escalate permissions for their apps that
need it?”
“We did switch them to using a wrapper called mx-pkexec to keep the
tools working on Buster after Debian removed gksu and went more to
policykit-based privileges.”
IMO it's "tdesu"
