Launching Dolphin as root is not supported. How are you accomplishing #1? Sorry, I should clarify. Timeshift (the backup application) when you press "view logs" or "browse" does #1. Since the app runs as root it probably opens it through the root account. I do not know the language it's written in but by analyzing the meaning of the meaning of the code, the button does this: "exo_open_folder(App.log_dir);" The result of that button is opening a root dolpin. The problem is that even after closing *that* dolphin and the timeshift window launching dolphin later causes it to open as root for no apparent reason. > The result of that button is opening a root dolhpin.
How do you know this? What does Dolphin do that tips you off to it? I ask because it should not be possible at all. :)

The white theme is applied and the running dolpin as root warning comes on
After you quit Dolphin, is there a dolphin process still running in the background? You can check with `ps -g | grep -i dolphin` after closing its last visible window.
