Sounds good.  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.
