[Bug 834403] Re: software-center-gtk3 crashed with signal 5 in _XError()

[Wes]

Yes its true that it works if you run it has root.  But I don't think
you're supposed to need to run it as root.  Before it stopped working, I
think I was able to run it and browse applications to install, and then
only enter my password (for sudoing) after choosing to install
something.  So I'm pretty sure something is wrong with the program, not
just the launcher command.
