WoeUSB-ng GUI Doesn't Launch

[heliophane]

I've searched the issue tracker and is pretty sure that there's no duplicate issue already filed
I've built the latest development snapshot using the instructions in README and verified that the issue can still be reproduced (for bug reports)

Issue Reproduce Instructions

1. Launch WoeUSB from Apps list in GNOME
2. Enter Sudo password

Expected Behavior

Program Opens when launched

Current Behavior

WoeUSB will throw up the screen asking for privileges, then nothing happens

Info of My Environment

WoeUSB Source

Installed using pip as the instructions showed for Fedora as well as building from source

Information about the Operating System

Fedora 34 Workstation running GNOME 40

Hi, have you tried running it twice?
Yes, this is serious question...

[heliophane]

@WaxyMocha I have, still no luck, on both the pip version and one I compiled :(

[WaxyMocha]

Gnome on some distributions appears to not work well with GUI's started as root. I don't have an solution for this outside of redesigning how GUI interfaces with core. For now you can try to use KDE or other, or just use terminal, there it should work well.
