None of these applications are setuid/setgid, and we would already know
if Gtk+ was breaking the whole desktop this way.

Problems with these specific applications (and the gnome-mount warnings)
are more likely to show a bug in hal. Could you downgrade hal-info to
version 20071030-1, restart hal and see if it still happens ?

As for your setuid issue, it could either come from a wrong check on the
GTK+ side, or be completely unrelated. It would be nice to know whether
the warnings still show up after fixing your hal issue.

Cheers,
