Hi B.h. and List,

inside  the mate-terminal
type:
 gksu <enter>
#you are now asked to enter a command like e.g. "gparted"
gparted <enter>
press 2x tab;
hit spacebar on "extended (in german erweitert)
1x press tab;
hit spacebar on something called reserve enviroment variables (in 
german: Umgebungsvariablen erhalten)
