Bug Description
If you sudo -s to a root shell, and then run byobu, a ~/.byobu directory will exist in your non-root user's home directory, but the files/dirs will be owned by root. This will make it impossible to change these files (select a different profile, toggle status notifications) as your non-root user.

This bug was fixed in the package byobu - 2.20-0ubuntu1
---------------
byobu (2.20-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* byobu: make this script set -e, such that it will fail if byobu-janitor generator/ profile. skel: improve handline of window overflow source_ byobu.py: add apport hooks for byobu
exits non-zero
* byobu-janitor: check that ~/.byobu is writable; print an error message
and exit non-zero if not; handles odd situation where user launches
byobu from a sudo/root shell, and root owns their ~/.byobu dir, but then
they launch as non-root sometime later, LP: #394147
* profiles/common: add a backtick helper hack to print %-1
* profiles_
on the caption line; use a ... elipsis at the beginning or end of line
to show that there are more windows or information available than
immediately shown, LP: #369828
