Well, I don't recall the original question too well, and I can't find it.
I'd be pretty leary of doing a recursive chattr on a home directory, or
any directory, for that matter.

Not necessary. The - causes su to set the login environment. Doesn't
affect your ability to use commands.

Also not.

# crontab -l
no crontab for root

# ls /etc/cron*
/etc/crontab

/etc/cron.d:
sysstat

/etc/cron.daily:
0anacron      logrotate        slocate.cron  tmpwatch
local_backup  makewhatis.cron  sysstat       tripwire-check

/etc/cron.hourly:

/etc/cron.monthly:
0anacron

/etc/cron.weekly:
0anacron  makewhatis.cron

All those jobs run on their schedules, but none of them show up in crontab
for root.

Let's see your fstab entry for /home.
