what I say is that you should be able to do that at your will

you should be warned that this is not a good idea, and this is 
the line what the software (thus its authors) should not cross

as it was said by John:
"My security is my responsibility, not my vendor's. The vendor's 
responsibility is to provide tools and documentation. 

Neither you nor my vendors understand my particular requirements 
and circumstances, and lacking that information you are poorly 
qualified to judge."

I'm sorry for my overreaction, but the issue is quite sensitive 
to me due its analogy to other things happening all over the 
world (and touching me) - "for our safety"

this really does not belong on this list; but my will is weak and 
I couldn't resist to react when the original writer was told not 
to use GUI as root at all ... I'll try better next time not to 
waste your time

thankyou - this is exactly the piece of information that was 
missing to answer the original post ... Adam ruleZZ again! ;-)
