Fixes: #517

Always drop privileges when opening a file manager.

  • For viewing timeshift logs user privs should be enough.
  • For viewing snapshots user prives should mostly also be enough (unless you want to view /etc/shadow or other users files, ...)
  • users can elevate their privileges on their own if they really need it

EDIT:
Fixes: #520
