[Bug 1415586] [NEW] /home/$USERNAME/.config owned by root

[Ryan Tandy]

Public bug reported:

Upon booting the 2015-01-2018 vivid livecd, the desktop session fails to
start because /home/ubuntu/.config is owned by root.

This appears to be the fault of scripts/casper-bottom/51unity8_wizard,
which runs as root.
