Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.2.1-6
Severity: minor

This is the error I get when trying to run xmms /w realtime priority.  I
think I need suid 0 for this.

Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

    http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

    Refusing to initialize GTK+.
    
For my setup I realy want to FORCE SUID!!  Is there an envy or something
I can set to do this.  If so it should be documented in the error msg.
If not then I should just use uid 0 for every thing, and negate security
on this desk-top system totaly.

No way to enforce to use suid and/or sgid. and no need to
improve the error message then. closing.
