I'm saying that if I as a normal user open the "System" and select
"Administration" (rough translation from Danish) ---> "Create a USB
Startup disk" then I have to enter my password. I assume that means the
application is run as root, but I don't know the details. Then, if I
select "other" to select an iso file, then the file selection dialog
doesn't match the one I'm presented with when I run non-sudo
applications. The difference, as pointed out by Elias, is the bookmarks,
which contains root's homedir, and some other entries that doesn't match
my bookmarks. This makes it hard to find the file I need.
