Back In Time (root) fails to launch on Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.

Fix is borrowed from https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift/blob/master/src/timeshift-launcher

Dear @phparkle ,
thanks for your PR.

Can you please link to the Issue or describe the problem that this PR tries to solve. Is #1348 the problem you try to resolve?

Are you aware of an open ticket at Ubuntu?

EDIT: Can you be sure that this fix doesn't affect (negatively) other non-ubuntu wayland-using distros?

Hi @buhtzz, thanks for looking into this.

#1348 describes the issue exactly.

I wasn't aware of the ubuntu ticket before but I believe it is referring to the same issue.

I don't know how this will impact other distros. I just copied the way timeshift launches a root GUI and it happened to work, but I am not sure if it is a proper fix.
