currently the frontend (which runs with uid != 0) may access the backend
(which runs with uid = 0) using su or ssh

the backend and the frontend may already communicate through ssh,
unfortunately the su and ssh access methods are pretty hardcoded, so
implementing it with loudmouth is, although possible (with several changes),
a bit hacky :-P (at this moment, obviously)

for activating the ssh option in the gst you need to dive into gconf,
there is still missing a friendly gui for setting it up. you
need the GST in the other side, with the gnome-system-tools.pc file
in PKG_CONFIG_PATH
