Running pcmanfm as root means all the applications will be ran under root which is not safe you know (well, if you want to risk your system and walk on the blade then I can see the reason) and I never saw any reason to run editor/browser/wine/etc. under root (and you want exactly this, don't you?)
But anyway if you so much want to do this risky things then why you never read http://wiki.lxde.org/en/PCManFM#Run_as_root page? Yes, it was changed lately but it is still available, at your own risk. This bugreport should be closed because it's not a bug but unread documentation by the person who reported it.
