Please do not encourage Gene's fetish of running GUI apps as root.
Plenty of people have been wasting their time trying to tell him not
to do that for years now, and the last thing they need is bystanders
handing him a different bore of firearm to aim at his foot.

Andy, if you aren't behind dd-wrt for your home network, don't pretend
to tell me what I can't do, because I am behind dd-wrt and totally
responsible for what I do on this side of it. Don't impress on me, your
paranoid ideas about how I should run MY computers
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
