Comment:

 If you use su by itself without hyphen it will work fine - as blahedo says
 this does not trigger the login shell (which looses the SUGAR_PATH). su by
 itself always worked i noted how to become root here:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Control_Panel

 #5537 is handling how to preserve the SUGAR_PATH for the sudo command
 which seems to be the new way of handling to become root privileges.

 So I think this is not a blocker anymore since we have a working way.
