My system is a 64bit Arch with all updates, WM is bspwm.

plank --version
0.11.4

The DISPLAY variable is set to :0 for both, root and normal user.
Setting XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP or similar does not seem to have an effect and they are unset for both, root and normal user.

as user Do Quyet (mr.quyetdx) suggested here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/plank/+bug/1811492
adding export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11` in ~/.xinitrc fixed it for me.
I'm using Arch and
plank --version
0.11.4.24-0a84Arch
