29d14c01d1 Fix launching of pkexec applications
When launching mintsources, timeshift or an app which Exec field (in the desktop file)
starts with pkexec, nothing happens and the output states:

"Refusing to render service to dead parents."

For some reason this does not happen on fresh LMDE 4 and Mint 19.3 installations,
but it happens on LMDE 3 -> LMDE 4 and 19.1 -> 19.3 upgrades.

Similar bugs were fixed in nemo and cinnamon. Pkexec is known to cause issues
depending on how it's launched.

This introduces a workaround to wrap the pkexec call within an "sh -c".
