The problem is that you are using su to start a X/GNOME application as root. su does not clear the environment, so XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to your users path, and the application running with root privileges changes the permissions. Please stop using su (without -l) or running X apps as root. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
