Bug#456824: Prevent setuid/setguid process to run

[Emmanuel Fleury]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.12.3-2
Severity: serious

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Recently (about a week ago) my network-manager applet,
gnome-power-manager and my gnome-volume-manager refused to work
properly. I looked at my ~/.xsession-errors file and I saw the following:


(process:3601): 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:

My guess (and this is ONLY a guess, might be wrong) is that Gtk+ is
preventing these three processes (network-manager-applet,
gnome-power-manager and gnome-volume-manager) to work properly.

I couldn't get further based on what I have... :-/

Please, feel free to ask me more in-depth question about my system. The
problem is 100% reproducible.
