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

[Nathaniel Graham]

ngraham added a comment.


  Right: if our uid is zero, but `$SUDO_USER` is set to something, then we're actually a non-root user using sudo, not the root user itself. We have to check `$SUDO_USER` and not `$USER` because `$USER` is set to "root" for the sudo use case.
  
  Does it not work for you? It works for me. Though if there's a better way, I'm all ears. As I'm sure you've noticed by know, I'm a //terrible// programmer, though I'm trying to improve all the time!
