[Bug 1374917] Re: After using sudo some files now owned by root

 

This is not a bug in MATE itself. If the XDG_* variables are not set
then it is not the receiving applications fault.

I have tested on Arch Linux with "proper" systemd 218-1 and the issue of
file ownership in the the users `.config` home directory being changed
to `root` is not present. I can reliably reproduce this on Ubuntu 14.04
running systemd-shim, so I can only assume the root cause lies in
systemd-shim.
