So, the issue is with the GTK file chooser dialog, which, despite its crisp
look, does have some quirks about it that could be improved on.
I think the problem may have been that the arrow button is not as intuitive for
the super-user as it is for the ordinary user. When an Unix user uses the GTK
file dialog as an ordinary user, he can see clearly that the arrow is hiding
the rest of the hierarchy because it's well visible only part of the file path
is being shown. As a super-user however, it may no longer be noticeable the
connection between the arrow to the file path line since it's directly located
under root.
Either way, hiding the root dir for the root user has no purpose since you're
not reducing the file path line anyway, and it's annoying, so I'd get rid of
it. Let's see what Gnome guys have to say about this though.
Anyway, from the Yast GTK UI, to avoid the issue, "/" will be added to the
navigator side bar shortcuts, in case it's not there.
