I am getting root-owned files written to a user directory. Why is this
happening and how / where do I configure to get whatever is creating
these to instead write to a root-owned space?
The files are:
~/.config/YaST2/y2controlcenter-qt.conf
~/.config/YaST2/YQOnlineUpdate.conf
~/.config/YaST2/YQPackageSelector.conf
~/.config/QtProject.conf
You are probably using YaST via "su". This means that files are written
to your home instead of to "/root". To avoid this, use "su -", with a dash.

Another possibility is some variants or configs of sudo.
