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.
$
&& dolphin -> runs with the Bob's colour scheme/window decorations/etc. even though the current logged in user is not Bob This is essentially what I am saying. That is fine. But as it stands the attempt to sidestep the bug by setting alot of default oxygen stuff makes it LOOK like a bug. So, either we fix the bug or make the root theme thoroughly distinct so that until that bug is fixed it will at least look like a feature. Thus I would recommend changing the widget theme from Oxygen to Windows9x or CDE which look distinct, and utilitarian, and give it a basic gray theme with red highlighting instead of blue. I would further propose, but do not consider important to set the root user icon, and cursor theme to something non-oxygen
