Right. But if we can't make apps launched as root honor any of the desktop users settings then it makes sense to make sure it is looking out of place on purpose.
I'm not sure what you mean here. It seems that you are saying that when running an application as su (kdesu someapp) that the users preferences should take precedence. If this is what you are saying then I disagree.
When user1 runs an application as user2, they "become" user2 and user2's preferences should be in effect for that instance as much as possible. Except for window borders that seems to be what we currently have. Or am I missing something?
But does user1 care that they are running an application as user2?
Usually they just want to use the application.
I like the idea of changing the window decorations, but the problem is
that we only currently change the look of the window because of a bug.
Why not give root a different, nice looking default theme, and have
every application respect the theme of the user that the application
is being run as.
For example:
$ kdesu dolphin
-> runs with root's unique colour scheme/window decorations/etc.
$ dolphin
-> runs with the current user's colour scheme/window decorations/etc.
