Hello,

I am using simple program

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    GtkWidget *window;
    gtk_init(NULL, NULL);
    window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
    gtk_widget_show(window);
    g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
    gtk_main();
    return 0;
}

I compiled it using gcc simple.c `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0 --libs`
if I do ./a.out, GUI is showing up.

but if I do "sudo ./a.out", I am seeing the following error :

================================================
$ sudo ./a.out
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(a.out:7961): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
================================================

As my application back end needs root privileges, I need to open the GUI
using sudo only.
Can some one help in fixing this issue ?

The same code was working fine in Ubuntu 17.04. But I am facing this
issue
after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10.

Ubuntu 17.10 has switched to the Wayland display server, which is
designed to fix the security issues existent in X.

Wayland only allows the user who started the X server to connect clients
to it.

For more info, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1266771


Thanks
