In addition to what nixnine said...
In Linux, you often maintain separate configurations per user/per app, with the config files stored as hidden files under the user folder. If you want to make global configurations that apply to all users or all apps on the system, you can modify the config files under /usr/share (which requires root/super user access). You can also choose to install fonts locally per app (say in GIMP) or globally in Linux to allow all of your apps to access the fonts.
I find it useful to start a terminal, enter super user mode "su -" and then run nautilus file manager as root..
nautilus --no-desktop --browser
or
sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser
what the function of " --no-desktop --browser" ?
i use often sudo nautilus but i never used that, what the advantages ?
BTW i also see some crytpic error message anytime i use sudo nautilus, but apparently everything work, the messages ,if i decrypted well are about something in the nautilus gui that fails to be initialized or fail to close...i never give much importance to that message since everything seems working as should
