Well the current problem is that if you reset the UID/GID, it takes effect for the whole session. This means that the control centre is then running as the new uid/gid that you chose. The only solution that I see is to spawn a sep python script that will reset the uid/gid followed by launching the appropriate terminal.
Not too sure how well that will work though.
