--- Comment #2 from Olivier Fourdan <fourdan at xfce.org> ---
It appears taht vmware comes with its own gksu, "vmware-gksu" that can be
invoked from the command line for testing.

It works fine on weston, so it's inlikely an Xwayland issue.

Actually, I suspect this is a weakness in the application, because it seems to
me that its maps a fullscreen override redirect window and relies on an active
keyboard grab to capture all key presses for the password.

But Wayland has no grabs, so that cannot work in Wayland/Xwayland (whereas it
does in plain X).

I think this is the same as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752956
