..having said that, the redhat bug has a few proposed workarounds. One shell script that may or may not work for your specific issue (tested only for synaptic, Qt apps may not work without change) would be the following one that, since I like Italian tomato sauce, I call it sugo:

xhost si:localuser:root
sudo $@
xhost -si:localuser:root
