<EM>&gt;So just give them what they are asking for, but don't make it too
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;easy:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;Just add a command line switch that let's the user run xsane as root.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;If this switch is not there generate an error message telling the user
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;that what they are trying to do is dangerous and that you will not
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;accept any problem reports from that. Then tell them how they can
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;run xsane as root.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;In addition to that I would create a warning window everytime somebody
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;tries to start the program as root.
</EM><BR>
<P><P>Hi Karl-Heinz,
<BR>
<P>the problem is that the people will ask about probelms anyway,
<BR>
so it does not really help to add a message like &quot;don<EFBFBD>t send bugreports when
<BR>
you have problems running xsane as root&quot;.
<BR>
<P>But adding some warnings may help.
<BR>
<P>Bye
<BR>
Oliver
