Sorry, need to ask for root rights and fail to aks for them
this is due upstream hardcode /usr/local/bin as path, for fix this I add in the spec after the autosetup line

sed -e 's:/usr/local:/usr:' -i miscellaneous/com.github.woeusb.woeusb-ng.policy

Also you not require grub so you must 
1. add grub as require 
or 
2. patch the gui for use by omission the option "skip legacy boot loader"

Also as upstream recommends p7zip and parted must be added as require

Forget the above , I test with a windows image and works without grub even if not mark the option

David I see you fix the policy other way but something in the changes you did are breaking the ask for root , I can't detect what can be but in AUR have the same issue https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/woeusb-ng#comment-950328

I just know my current package works but is using the "old" way of build python stuff

David I find a curious workaround
If you change the Exec line in desktop file to Exec=pkexec woeusbgui

The application will ask for root password and works!

Not have any idea about why this is necessary but works

Perfect. Pkexec works like sudo, but is used in graphical applications.

I went to run the current woeusb from the repository and this is the command it executes: com.github.woeusb.woeusb.run-gui-using-pkexec

The Xubuntu manual explains why to use pkexec: https://docs.xubuntu.org/latest/user/C/command-line.html

Usually Is not needed to explicitly call to pkexec in a desktop file when you have defined a policy , I did package this version time ago with the old python build method and do the work without include that, something in the new python build workflow break the polkit work and makes necessary the addition of pkexec

Unless David find other way of course :D

Should be fixed in next woeusb-ng-0.2.12-1.1.mga9 update!
