Package: unetbootin

Unetbootin prompted me for root password when I ran it first time, and now
keeps it cached somewhere so that it can always run as root. I don't know where
to look for the cached password, and I'm unsure as to whether unetbootin really
needs to run as root.
Firstly, yes, unetbootin needs root priviledges to to have write access to the
USB devices.
Secondly, I doubt unetbootin directly asked you about the password, probably
it's gksu[do] or kdesu[do] or like that and it does caching and, hence, have
nothing to with unetbootin. If you believe it's not the case, please install
the program strace and attach the output of 'strace -e trace=process
unetbootin' command to this bug thread and I will try to dig out some info
from there.
If it's the case, please confirm it and I will close this bug.
