applications working on uid 0

[chabayo <chabayo yahoo de>]

Hello,...

...the main problem is the execution of program code suppoesed to  
processed in uid 0 - system is Linux

The fact: I tried to handle the events in /proc/acpi/events by my own  
application which integrates gtk handled display interaction.

Because /proc/acpi/events is gid=0 (root) i would have to change the  
gid of that file, or set the suid bit of an (gtk)executable owned by  
root.


Btw. for me it's also strange, still more a problem, to pop up a window  
on a Display not owned by myself.

It may be done by getting the ownder of the display, and merging the  
.Xauthority (keys ever new produced by gdm - why!?), if arrangeable to  
read.


Some help may be fine...


greets
chabayo
