Yeah, I read through that doc, but it didn't seem to have anything about root vs. regular user. However, I have (sort of) solved my problem... discovered that su-ing to my regular user from root is not the same as logging in as that user... certain login files aren't read, I would imagine.
Please note the difference between
su
and
su -
su changes to the new user without changing the existing environment.
su - changes to the new user and takes on all characteristics of the new user including the new user's normal environment.
Big difference.
