D12795: Re-allow running Dolphin as the root user (but still not using sudo)

  how?
  The code basically does:
  
    if (ROOT && SUDO_USER) {
      std::cout << ....
    }
  
  I'm either missing something or there is a typo in that testcase (drop the sudo).
  
  And a bit of irony, the application one likely uses to become root (in a plasma environment) is... Konsole. Which is also prone of this "really important" security bug.
