fix(linux): resolve grey window when relaunched as root via pkexec#118
Conversation
On Linux Mint (and potentially other desktops), relaunching Kudu as administrator produced a grey window where the DOM loaded (cursor reacted to buttons) but nothing painted. Two changes fix this: - Append --disable-gpu-compositing and --in-process-gpu Chromium switches when running as root on Linux, forcing a rendering path that reliably paints even when the software compositor fails. - Forward DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS through pkexec so GTK/accessibility integration in the renderer works correctly in the elevated process. Closes #118 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
