Re: [gtk-list] How safe is GTK?

[Sebastien Carpe <scarpe atos-group com>]

Well, i'm not the best gtk expert in da world, i would even dare say
i'm about the worst, since i only subscribe this list for interest
purpose only at the moment, but, in terms of security, what about
splitting your code into a daemon that would be run as root, where you 
exactly control what is done and have the Gtk front-end you've dreamed 
about run under the user ID, with a rather simple socket protocol for
the client/server talk. (i'm sure you know what i mean, regarding the
thing you're doing with mtr).

I think it would solve your problem with a work-around, and IMHO is a
better way to control security than having users running many
processes as root all around your system....

Just my .2 cents, hope it helps...
