I'm not quite sure what to do about that; one option is to strip all ~
relative path names when getuid() != geteuid() from the font path, cache
path and other configurable names.

I was thinking that we already bailed on writing out cache files in this
case though. In which case, the only issue is with sudo. One possible
fix here is to use getpwuid (getuid()) instead of getenv ("HOME").
