I think gksudo and cousins (among them the KDE flavour whose name I keep
forgetting) are dead, they don't exist in Debian since buster.

The New Way (TM) seems to be to muck around policykit (which I don't
know well enough to help you with, sorry).

Have you tried my 'ssh -E' proposal from the other mail? On my box
it works, but my box is sufficiently different from yours (legacy
X setup, no dbus, no systemd) that the outcome might well be different.
