Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS.
I got this script in python, and its uses Glade as a gui.
Here is the main file:

So.
The code at fault here is:
runAsRoot("gksudo sysctl vm.drop_caches=1")
And I dont know why dksudu is not taking focus.
Switching windows with alt+` is not working either.
>Solution :
You are trying to run a terminal command with gksudo. That will start the process, but of course leave you no way of interacting with it. You probably rather want to launch a terminal application, in which that command is started.
Note that gksudo to start graphical applications is deprecated. Use pkexec, but better, prefer not to run a graphical application as root at all: have it elevate to root privileges only while actually performing the specific actions that require root permissions.
