Hi,
I have a GTK application that makes uses of socket.
I am able to run the application as a root user.
But as a normal user i could not execute, this is because
socket API is present in GTK application.
I wrote a simple command line based socket application and
used "chmod root:root test" and "chmod u+s test" after that
i was able to execute the application as normal user.
But when i did the same for the GTK application,
it is reporting the below error. The link suggests of using pipes.
My question is there any other work around for this problem?
My need is the user should not be asked for root password each time (log
off and log in)
for the GTK application.

This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:
