<P>That is your poinion. It also happens to be my opinion. It's hardly
|
|
<BR>
|
|
absolute truth, by any stretch; first of all, we don't know what kind
|
|
<BR>
|
|
of problems this system has.

|

|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> unnecessary questions.
|
|

|
|
<P>This is a valid point, but unfortunately blocking xsane from running
|
|
<BR>
|
|
as root will not help.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>Those who don't understand will try to run xsane anyway, get a message
|
|
<BR>
|
|
that the program won't run, and then email you about it. You'll still
|
|
<BR>
|
|
get the same type of emails - odds are you'll get even _more_.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>You won't be able to change the world by making your program the odd
|
|
<BR>
|
|
one out. In fact, making your program behave in an unexpected way
|
|
<BR>
|
|
(which is what you're suggesting) is actually much more likely to
|
|
<BR>
|
|
cause you even more wasted time.
