Workaround for baobab error CRITICAL **: Unable to parse option: Cannot open display
Raw
baobab-unable-to-parse-option-err.md

If I run baobab after sudo su -, I see following message on the terminal and baobab does not run.

** (baobab:4596): CRITICAL **: Unable to parse option: Cannot open display:

DISPLAY is set to something like ":1" or "localhost:1". I also tried --display= option, but it didn't help.

But If I run xhost + in gnome in the terminal as a user before doing su, the error is not shown and baobab worked without proboem.
