The fix is to reset the HOME environment variable to /root if we are being run with uid of 0 to avoid dbus attempting to write a file on NFS mounted filesystem, for which it does not have permissions.

Is this really the right way of handling this?  It seems very strange
for a user running an application to end up modifying root's home
directory.  How do other GNOME distributions handle running privileged
applications - is it assumed they never have home directories mounted
via NFS?
