Long story short, you hacked your own solution to achieve something that is provided by other software, and now it doesn't work anymore. And you call it a bug that you "hope" somebody else will fix. Without even providing a full explanation or the the code of your hacks (and no, I'm not interested).
And furthermore, you tell the people trying to help you that they "first better do a web research for starting a program under a different user name in Linux." FWIW, I installed xhost and disabled access control with it, and pcmanfm starts normally with the command from my previous mail.
