Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, there isn't anything
that can be done about this specific bug. When you run an application as
root, you lose some environment variables. In particular, the XDG_
variables that are loaded in the user session are not carried to the
root session.
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/xubuntu:/usr/share/xfce4:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop:/usr/share
Our default application associations exist in
/usr/share/xubuntu/applications/defaults.list. Without those defaults,
any application registered for text/plain can open it by default. I
think they're evaluated alphabetically.
