I'm not sure whether this can be trivially fixed. The problem is that people are using "su -" to change the user and expect the X session to change the user as well so that they can use desktop applications running that new user. However, the problem is that a desktop applications nowadays do a lot of interaction using dbus, dconf and so on such that it becomes problematic to run these from an su session even if you changed XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the new user which is probably why the systemd people dropped this feature in the first place. I therefore more or less agree with Lennart's stance. So, either these desktop applications should be able to work without dconf, dbus in a changed environment or users should simply avoid running these applications as root which is usually a bad idea in the first place. I usually use the terminal when working on system files. This way you're also more aware that you're actually working as root. Adrian - -- .''`.
