Quote: "Because the user is trying to run as a different uid but still has the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS pointing to his own bus. This is completely a security feature and not a bug." Adds security, removes usability :( How else are we supposed to run Nautilus as root from the drawer? su - root -c nautilus nearly works except for Network connections where I get Could not display "network:///". Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations.
