As long as the interface doesn't change, they can change as their hearts
desire.

If each pilot has an "allowed users" list, you could place a cookie file
in .gnome. The client then sends this as its auth, the daemon running as
root can check against ~user/.gnome/gnome-pilot.d/cookie. 

(something I stopped on way home from work and wrote on the pilot. I
suppose you could fake the daemon and sniff peoples cookies ?)
