Root version opens GTK version: so I can't save my ssh passphrase

[nu111]

Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.

If I run the version for the normal user it correctly opens the Qt version.
Whenever I try to open the root version of backintime, it opens the GTK version.

With the command

sudo -i backintime-qt4 --debug

this output is returned

DEBUG: [common/backintime.py:585 getConfig] config file: /root/.config/backintime/config
DEBUG: [common/backintime.py:586 getConfig] profiles: ['1']

The problem is that with the GTK version this bug is back #545, so I can't save my ssh passphrase.

Nope, there is no GTK anymore. It only looks ugly because Qt is not configured to look nice for root by default.
And it's also not #545. Root just has no secure password storage and so you can't store passwords as root...
