“pkexec xfce4-terminal” has stopped working - help with troubleshooting, please

0

I have been using an upgraded xubuntu machine (16.04 to 18.04) for just under a year now. I use a root terminal extensively, so on about the 2nd day after my upgrade I figured out how to get it working with pkexec instead of gksu.

Today it stopped working, with no action on my part, and no updates applied. Rebooting had no effect.

Where do I start to troubleshoot this?

Here's my /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/xfce4-terminal.policy file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN"

<annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.allow_gui">true</annotate>
</action>

</policyconfig>

auth.log is showing no error. here is an example -- the first is launching gparted via pkexec. it works normally. The second is launching xfce4-terminal. xfce4- terminal never appeears.

Any help appreciated!
