I see that too (different GUI appearance if run as 'root' or 'user'). It's probably due to different configurations stored in each users' home directory. But I haven't bothered to look into it yet.

As for the script, it needs to check to see if 'root' is running it, because the 'sudo' doesn't work (emelfm2 doesn't run) if run by 'root'. I just went around the problem, because I'm not familiar enough with sudo to know how to resolve it.
