My thoughts:
1. Instead of having your app launch at boot time, why don't you launch
one when each user logs in (i.e. a copy running for each user)? That
would completely avoid the issue.
2. If for some reason you can't do #1, how does the user interact with
your app? It was launched at boot time, but somehow it is doing
something on behalf of a process owned by a user. Is there not some way
you can determine the owner of the process that is interacting with
your root owned process?
3. As others have stated before, you are making the assumption there
can only be one user currently using a GUI. That may not always be the
case.

Since
UserA has 3left the building2, his prefs don9t really matter...
