$ sudo find /home/rick -user root

/home/rick/.sane/xsane
/home/rick/.sane/xsane/xsane.rc
/home/rick/.packages
/home/rick/.config/gedit
/home/rick/.config/gedit/accels

.sane is the Brother scanner package that had to be installed using sudo so I'm not concerned. gedit I'm not concerned about.

What about dbus stuff and .packages? Should this be an area of concern or does everyone have that when they repeat the search command I used?

No, nothing in your home directory should be owned by root. This happens when you run things with sudo (or gksudo). Better change the ownership (and group) back to yourself. Don't delete them (although that probably wouldn't be a problem).
