Missing home config for anachron and root

[Julius Beckmann]

When using the "BackInTime (root)" Application with XUbuntu 14.04, the automatic backup via udev/anachron did not work.

After some investigation i found out anachron could not run backintime because such errors:
"WARNING: Not configured" and
"The application is not configured !"

In the End there was such a line missing in the anachron file, to run correctly under root account:

```
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/root/.config/
```

I am using
```
$ backintime --version
Back In Time
Version: 1.0.34
```

This is because 'gksu' is missing in Ubuntus official repository dependencies. Take a look at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735122

You can either install gksu manually with 'sudo apt-get install gksu' or use our PPA with 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bit-team/stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'

You might have to move your config after this from ~/.config/backintime/config to /root/.config/backintime/config and change ownership to root.

I dont think this is because of missing gksu, because i had it installed beforehand.

For clearance: I always started and used backintime as root, never as my own uer.

What kind of dialog does pop up to ask for your sudo password? Is it a Terminal window or a graphical dialog?

Where is your config located at the moment? ~/.config/backintime or /root/.config/backintime ?

Official repository uses 'su-to-root' to start backintime as root. This will fallback to sudo if it doesn't find gksudo. But sudo doesn't change HOME environ where gksudo does.

[Julius Beckmann (z-ubuntuone-t)]

There is no dialog at all. Config has always been at `/root/.config/backintime`.

I had some thins changed on my system that i changed back:
- Disabled non-password sudo for my user, tried again with no difference.
- Recreated the umodified udev and anacron files.

The issue i reported seem to be "handmade" by myself trying to recreate the anacron flow.
My current working fix for my issue is a "sleep 10;" in the anacron file, because my external 3.5" is quite slow and needs some time to start and mount.

Glad to hear that you could fix it. I'm aware of anacron starting to soon. There is already bug #1332979 with a patch. But I'm also about to ditch anacron completely and integrate it's function into BIT. Didn't decide yet.

Would you agree to mark this bug as duplicate of bug #1332979?
