title: Unable to create /root/.config/<app> programmatically
body: <p>I've built a script that places an icon in the launcher to open a program as the root user. This script also adds <code>NOPASSWD</code> to the user's configuration for this specific app in <code>/etc/sudoers</code>, however the one part of the script that refuses to work is the creation of the profile in <code>/root/.config/&lt;app&gt;</code>. I can create this manually, using the same <code>mkdir</code> command, but when I place the same command in the script it returns <code>no such file or directory</code>. I have replicated this behaviour a number of times, including on a clean install. </p>
  
  <p>Is there some form of protection that disallows the ability to automate the creation of this directory? Or am I missing something about hidden folders in Linux?</p>
