Uid, gid and display are saved and restored, so it can works also for other
users and x servers.
But with setpriv kaffeine was complaining it couldn't find .config/,
database etc and so it wasn't able to start. It seems that was ignorming
original user's home and tried to access root home.
Adding the parameter --reset-env seems to fix, kaffeine restarts.
But, after some minutes, it closes. I don't understand why.
My first guess would be that you also need $HOME to be set, or perhaps
the current working directory, or both. --reset-env sets HOME, SHELL,
USER, LOGNAME and PATH. That seems like a reasonable addition.
I have no idea why it crashes later.
Could it be that he doesn't run Kaffeine in the background?
