I don't this it is an issue, you **should** execute any application which will write files in your home directory by sudo -i/gksudo/kdesudo
Running <application name> as root with HOME environmental variable still points to your own HOME directory will make <application name> create files in your home directory which, of course can't be modified later if you run <application name> by YOURSELF and cause problem. The problem, in particular, you may break your application or even the entire X session! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125944 Title: (gedit:3366): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/oem/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
