Does it give a similar warning to those who try to use it graphically, not from the command line, as root? I'm guessing that's the missing part of Gene's problem. I don't have problems with tools that won't run as root, that shouldn't be run as root. Or tools that give you fair warning about it. I'm not impressed by anything that silently fails to work. NB: I neither have beagle installed, nor run as root, so I can't test this myself. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
