I just detected another nice side-effect of this uid mixing:

When I closed a normal dolphin window (i.e. running under my uid), I got
the error (translated):
  could not save bookmarks in 
  /home/jo/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml ... Permission denied.

ls -l  to the file shows:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1156 2007-10-16 18:00 bookmarks.xml

Obviously an earlier 'kdesudo dolphin' session had stored bookmarks
under my /home/jo/... dir with uid=root, blocking me out.
