Have generally used geany for editing lots of files with both regular

Running as regular user was fine, but runnings as root, would fail,
and would then mess up with regular user since it would create a
file .config/geany that was owned by root? Had to delete that file to
fix issue.
How is it failing?
How are you running it as root that it would create a config file in
the local user's home?
Why would you be running "geany" as the root user anyway?
I tested "sudo gedit" and it works fine, but of course I'm using
Wayland. If you're using X, you'll probably have to grant permissions.
If you are referring to permissions to use sudo, permissions do need to
be granted but that requirement is independent of whether you are using
Wayland or X.
No, I mean permissions for the root user to display on the user's X
server. It seems that at least for Gnome on Wayland, the permission
gets transferred automatically somehow.
e.g. "xhost +" (warning, very insecure if that matters)
