Interesting change of behavior: After a number of trials, the use of command "sudo nautilus" instead of "gksu nautilus" does not result in Nautilus (Root) changing the Unity Launcher background to the default. But the sidebar includes User bookmarks, and not the Root bookmarks although it is definitely Nautilus running as Root, or not as Root but with Root privileges. However, logging out and back in still repeats the same (minor) problem: for a couple of seconds Unity Launcher displays the default (purple) background. Running the command "gksu nautilus" a couple of times goes back to the disastrous desktop background situation described in the previous message.

[TEST CASE] (1) Configure the desktop to use a non-default wallpaper. (2) Log in to a Unity session and observe the area behind the Launcher. [REGRESSION POTENTIAL] The solution to this problem was to eliminate the animation of the BFB icon on initial startup. Potentially this could cause the animation to not run at other times, although even if this did occur, it is unlikely to be noticed. [OTHER INFO] The fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" dev release where it has been in production use for some time without apparent regression.
