In a Lubuntu 15.04 Live Session, Root is the owner of /home/lubuntu/.config - which causes several other problems

[Dave Kokandy]

In daily builds of Lubuntu 15.04's live desktop images (both i386 and amd64), root is the owner of the live user's ~/.config directory.

To reproduce: Boot a live daily build of Lubuntu 15.04.

To verify: Run command "ls -laR ~"
(I have attached the relevant part of the output of that command as a screenshot)

This appears to be the underlying cause of at least 3 related bugs (and probably more):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpad/+bug/1414341

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1419334

I have been trying to pin down WHY root owns the /home/lubuntu/.config folder, but so far I can't figure out what is doing it.

I have no idea what package is causing it.
Here's what I know so far:

* Root is the owner of /home/lubuntu/.config and the only user with write permissions.
* The only item in this folder is a 0 byte file, /home/lubuntu/.config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run
* ubuntu-system-settings is the help wizard for Ubuntu Touch. The ubuntu-system-settings package is NOT on the live USB, nor would there be any reason for it to be a part of Lubuntu at all.

My hypothesis is that something is causing root to touch /home/lubuntu/.config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run somehow that creates an empty file there before the rest of the directory structure is built. I have no idea how to try to track down what might do that. I haven't found anything blindly looking through log files.

This appears to have been resolved as of the 15 February 2015 live vivid image for amd64. lubuntu is owner of ~/.config and everything that should be there is there. Marking as incomplete. Please update if you encounter this issue again.
