When deciding which directory to use for configuration data, the application
first checks for the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIR. If that's available,
but wrong (e.g. your 'su' process didn't change it) then the configuration data
will of course be read from and written to the wrong place.
If you can't adjust the variable, then override the default directory-selection
protocol, by:
gksu "emelfm2 -c /root/.config/emelfm2"
