I don't really have a strong opinion on this thread one way or the
other, but... how is it a security problem if a user who has root
access to the system anyway wants to edit privileged files?

I understand the argument that running graphical applications as root
is generally not a good idea, and I understand the desire to protect
against that, but this logic doesn't seem to follow to me. Perhaps I'm
not understanding the point you are trying to make here?
