This package now uses the policy file shipped with the bleachbit package (/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.bleachbit.policy), which relies on the deprecated org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.allow_gui.

Native Wayland desktop support obtained by overriding WAYLAND_DISPLAY and XDG_SESSION_ID has been removed due to security concerns. It now runs under Wayland via XWayland.

Note: org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.allow_gui is still used despite being deprecated for security reasons. A proper solution requires BleachBit to be updated to support running under Wayland as an unprivileged user, with privilege escalation handled via polkit or similar mechanisms (https://github.com/bleachbit/wishlist/issues/142).

Please help internationalize! Please comment the translation of "BleachBit (root)" in your language, along with the language code associated, and get added in the contributors section of the package! For example, in Spanish, the translation is "BleachBit (raíz)". Many thanks <3.
