[beta] howdy-gtk fails to run after elevate

[principis]

howdy-gtk won't start if not run as root:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/arthur/fedora-scm/Howdy/howdy/howdy-gtk/src/init.py", line 8, in <module>
    import window

    raise RuntimeError(
RuntimeError: Gtk couldn't be initialized. Use Gtk.init_check() if you want to handle this case.

This exception is thrown after elevate.elevate(). Starting howdy-gtk with sudo works fine.

It seems it has something to do with the environment. After setting DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY in init.py, everything works as expected.

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Fixed it by modifying the polkit policy:

<action id="com.github.boltgolt.howdy-gtk">
