Please monitor these files:
1) /home/thiago/.setenvir.dat
2) /root/.setenvir.dat
3) /usr/share/setedit/.setenvir.dat (shouldn't exist)
Do it before going to root and after it.
Also: Are you using su and running setedit from /home/thiago? If yes just avoid it, it can create
files owned by root in your directory.

Do a backup of the files I mention (plus default desktops) and try it. I use setedit both, as root
and as a regular user and never saw a mix of settings.

I'm glad to heard it. I wrote it after configuring a system by nth time, I saw I was forced to
solve the same details again and again. So I put it in an easy to read way and available for
others.
