See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753882#c43 Now as Lennart is arguing here, running gedit as root is crack. But the problem is greatly exacerbated by systemd leaving XDG_RUNTIME_DIR as the user, which causes the root-owned process to write to it, leaving directories owned by root whch can't be deleted by the user. But if say you happen to be logged in via ssh or a getty as well, that broken dconf directory will persist until you log out everywhere, and it will break logging in via gdm. This can happen with just pure "pkexec" and a *non-X11* application which wants to save transient per-uid state. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
