**StartAsRoot** - running X-applications via `pkexec`

Designed to run an X-application via pkexec. This is useful if you need to distribute applications in non-rpm packages. There is no need to write rules and additional executable files.

- The application to be launched must be located in the same StartAsRoot directory (or `StartAsRoot` + `StartAsRoot.ini` in the directory of your application)

- The name of the application to start is written in `StartAsRoot.ini`

- Before starting, the intercepted User Name is written to the `StartAsRoot.ini` file. It can be used by the developer in the future

Made and tested in Mageia Linux-8/9, Ubuntu.
