Or that there is an error in startup.  Open up a konsole terminal
emulator, and type
gtk-gnutella
and hit enter.  Whether or not the program starts, wait a little while
until it seems like nothing much else is happening, and then copy and
paste all the output into an email to the bug report (not to me) if you
don't see the problem.

It is normal for programs to be owned by root.  Ownership alone doesn't
prevent you from executing the program, permissions are also involved.
On Debian systems, the default for a program is to be ownership
root:root, and permissions 0755.  This allows anyone to run the program,
but only root to modify it.

Take care,
