This is intended behaviour. A root application can connect to the user's 
dcopserver (if it has proper credentials) but the user will not be able to 
make calls to the root application.

Session management is not supposed to work for applications running with a 
different uid (the session manager wouldn't be able to restart them) but the 
application should still work otherwise.
