Public bug reported:
If you try to open the laptop mode tools gui over the Gnome start menu you
always end up with a message box that tells you to restart it with sudo
permissions (X is not root. You need to run with root priviliges Please use
kdesudo, gksu or sudo/sux).
It would be nice to see the sudo user dialogue popping up instead to be able to
accede through a privileged account.
This nasty issue happened on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and hasn't changed on
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
