This is a known limitation and design choice that Wayland doesn't allow
root privileged applications to work.
One workaround is to run the following in a terminal before running
GParted to allow root applications to connect to the X server under
Wayland.
xhost +si:localuser:root
Another workaround it to continue to use the X.org display server rather
than the Wayland display server.
