Hello,
In order to fix bug 7524 I commited change in calling new shell from
su - -c "DISPLAY=$DISPLAY whatever"
to
su -p -c "whatever"
Basically it means that when you invoke one of our commands as regular
user, and the command executes self with root privileges, your original
environment is left untouched (even $HOME). I have tested this change
for some time locally and it worked fine, but anyway I feel that I
should warn you here :)
