Upgraded to F29. On KDE desktop starting EMACS in a privileged command window locks the system. Starting EMACS with sudo locks the system. On XFCE4 normal EMACS access with privilege.

Other file managers don't like root but there are times when cli is awkward.
There are several GUI programs that prompt for a password then open a program with root access. I use Xfce and beesu, and I know that both Gnome KDE have their equivalents. On my panel, I have a launcher that runs this:

beesu - thunar

for those rare occasions where a CLI would be too awkward, but I need root.
