Bug Description

To replicate the bug:

1. `apt-get install -y sway` to install alternative window manager.
2. After starting session use `Mod4 (Win key) + Enter` to open terminal window.
3. Start `usb-creator-gtk` and try to create bootable USB driver.
4. You will see `usb-creator-gtk` display message window `Could not write the disk image (/home/m/Downloads/ubuntu-22.10-beta-desktop-amd64.iso) to the device (/dev/sda).`
5. Then `usb-creator-gtk` crashes without asking for any credentials.

I am not sure, it looks like `usb-creator-gtk` has a hidden dependency on some DBus service, but does not try to invoke it to get access to the flash drive.
