Nemo open as root no longer working.

I just noticed today open as root in the file action menu no longer opens nemo at the current folder as a root user. 

Journalctl -xe prints this out:

Oct 14 13:38:08 Odin systemd[1]: Starting Hostname Service...

The log makes it look like the command ran successfully, but a new window isn't opened.
Does anyone know of possible fixes?

Re: Nemo open as root no longer working.

Alright, I created a new admin account, and I was able to get nemo to open as root from the right click menu without issues.  launching nemo as root from the right click context menu still doesn't work for my main account. Are there any suggested fixes? Just reinstall Nemo?
