Currently Ubuntu hard-coded preserve HOME environment variable to point to sudo caller's home directory by default(refer bug #760140) however this is dangerous and error-prone because the program run by root may write files (e.g. $HOME/.Xauthority , program config files) into the HOME directory **AS ROOT** which, will cause issue when user run the same program using it's account and even make the user failed to login(due to .Xauthority file owner is incorrect)
In my opinion the Ubuntu patch that make $HOME variable keep in sudo is INSANE and should be reverted(Ubuntu should use the safest configuration by default), any user wish to run command as root using their HOME directory should set env_keep in /etc/sudoers themselves and acknowledging the consequences.
RootSudo - Community Help Wiki(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo ) wrongly tell that graphical application shouldn't launch by sudo, but in fact the real issue is in this bug.

mtime.conffile..etc.sudoers.d.README: 2014-09-24T22:26:35.734703 |
Currently Ubuntu hard-coded sudo to preserve HOME environment variable to point to sudo caller's home directory by default(refer bug #760140) however this is dangerous and error-prone because the program run by root may write files (e.g. $HOME/.Xauthority , program config files) into caller's HOME directory **AS ROOT** which, will cause issue when users run the same program as their normal users' account again and even make the user failed to login(due to .Xauthority file owner is incorrect)
In my opinion the Ubuntu patch(keep_home_by_default.patch) that make $HOME variable keep in sudo is INSANE and should be reverted(Ubuntu should use the safest configuration to general users by default), any user wish to run command as root using their HOME directory should set env_keep in /etc/sudoers themselves and acknowledging the consequences.
RootSudo - Community Help Wiki(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo ) wrongly tells that graphical application shouldn't be launch by sudo, but in fact the real issue falls into this bug.
