@hyperair we really don't support running Geany as root. Its risky as Geany has no safety and security provisions although it can run arbitrary commands.

See also the saga of #1150 and Ubuntu sudo geany. Not sure if running it this way will hit that problem.

By having files with the intent of allowing running as root as part of the product it may give the impression that its safe and supported. Of course you distro chaps can make your own decisions if you want to supply such a file, but it doesn't seem a good idea for Geany to do so.
