that certainly sounds strange to me.
what application and why were you doing this as
root - seems like asking for trouble... :)
hmm, what is your desktop manager? i use lightdm.
perhaps reinstall it.
the other thing would be to check your systemd
units to make sure something didn't get masked out
or removed that you wanted to be used for sure and
put that back into place.
