Works fine in a up-to-date Xfce cauldron that was installed before mga7beta1 iso testing began.

Assigning to the registered maintainer.

Comment 2 Lewis Smith 2018-12-07 16:02:03 CET 
Just tried under XFCE, where it *does* work. Problem could be Gnome only.
Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2018-12-07 20:41:49 CET 
Works also under Plasma, so take as Gnome only.
Comment 4 Jani Välimaa 2018-12-16 10:26:59 CET 
Perhaps because of Wayland.

Does 'GDK_BACKEND=x11 parole' work?

M7beta3 Classic x64 install, real HW, Gnome from SDDM.

It *does* now launch & run correctly, both from menu & command line:
 $ parole
