> Does plain "su" overwrite your own user's config?
Yes. It does!

==================================================
[brainworker@brainworker-computer ~]$ ls -l ~/.config/emelfm2/
total 32
-rw------- 1 brainworker users  1559 Mar  3 20:58 cache
-rw------- 1 brainworker users 25105 Mar  3 20:58 config-en_US.UTF-8

[brainworker@brainworker-computer ~]$ su
Password:

[root@brainworker-computer brainworker]# emelfm2

[root@brainworker-computer brainworker]# exit
exit

[brainworker@brainworker-computer ~]$ ls -l ~/.config/emelfm2/
total 32
-rw------- 1 root root  1541 Mar  3 20:59 cache
-rw------- 1 root root 25129 Mar  3 20:59 config-en_US.UTF-8
==================================================

Everything you can see here.

First 'ls' is made as 'brainworker' - normal user. I am owner of both
files (cache and config-en_US.UTF-8). Time of modification is Mar 3
20:58.
Then 'su'
Then launch of emelfm2
Then closing program.
Then loging out.
And then again 'ls' as normal user. Time of modification of both files
is changed - Mar 3 20:59.
And... LOOK... root became owner of these files in my home directory.
