I've kinda stayed out of this debate, but when looking at the details, I also cannot find any logical reason to the change as it exists in the upstream source. It simply doesn't make sense to exit silently when run as root. I wouldn't quite call it 'stupid' - but I would call it short sighted / problematic. A better solution would be to pop up a dialog stating "This is being run as root and could be dangerous". -- Steven Haigh 📧 netwiz@xxxxxxxxx 💻 http://www.crc.id.au 📞 +61 (3) 9001 6090 📱 0412 935 897
