There is no risk in running the commands I told you but I can't force you
to do something you are afraid of (and I still dunno why because there is
no technical nor logical reason for being so reluctant to do it but I
can't do anymore to convince you).
We are trying to solve a problem with your current user's profile and

run as root user can shed some light on this. But again, that's up to you
and what's your real necessity of having the problem solved :-)

Did you already compare, side by side, your current user's .config folder
and the other's user (from where the apps work)?

I would like to see a good reason for it but I'm not going to insist.
