Actually, another one:

User1 does su root, runs a graphical service

User2 does su root, runs a graphical service

Since the user bus for root was started by the first user, the second user will 
probably experience problems like those I described in my email.

I gather from another email that there's a solution for this with systemd and 
loginuid. However, since systemd is not everywhere today nor required, we must 
consider the case where it's not present.
