Bleachbit not working correctly on Linux Mint 20.2 xfce

Installed BleachBit on a fresh-install of Linux Mint 20.2 xfce and noticed a few issues:

1: BleachBit does not seem to appear in the list installed applications after installation - no icon is visible in the menus, as expected. This happens if installing via Synaptic/Update-Manager (v3.9.0) or the .DEB installer (v4.4.0)

It is possible to run via the terminal and also create a launcher, but it involves a bit of mucking around and shouldn't really be needed.

2: The "run as administrator" icon/option is also missing. But unlike the stop-gap solution for point "1:" above, can't find a way to run as admin/root.

3: The "Hide irrelevant cleaners" option in prefs has no effect on the list of cleaners, as they all still appear.

Cheers,

Mike.

BleachBit version: 
4.4.0
