I don't know what you mean by this. I just performed the following
experiment on my stretch workstation (wooledg), in communications with
a stretch server (arc3) elsewhere on our network.
1) Already logged into wooledg, I opened a new urxvt window.
2) In this window, I typed: ssh -Y arc3
3) After authenticating to arc3 with a password, at the shell prompt,
I typed: xterm
4) After a moment, a new xterm window appeared on my display.
Thats expected. Now enter synaptic-pkexec. It should ask you, if you
are
user 1000, for a passwd and given it, it will run. But after wheezy,
its
not possible. LinuxCNC's graphics needs are modest, and it will run, as
the user. But its not root.
