[Bug 58002] [NEW] Some programs create root-owned files in user $HOME when run under sudo

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The first time I noticed this I thought I'd done something wrong.  But 5
installations later, my .viminfo is always owned by root, causing
certain things to malfunction or not function at all.  For example I
can't copy and paste text (vim-style) from one file to another, and
despite my .vimrc magic my cursor is always on line 1, column 1 when I
open a file.
