What is the expected behavior of running DirectFB slave applications (using the 
Multiple DirectFB Application Usage Model binaries) by non-root users (and the 
master is run as root user)?  How about when the master is run as a non-root 
user?  Or some slaves are run as root user and others as non-root user?

Is this even an intended usage model and supported?  If so, are there known 
limitations?

I am experimenting with this functionality with our non-fbdev, non-devmem based 
custom systems driver, and the core software does not appear ready for such 
usage (single application usage model binaries appear okay).  Many embedded 
devices are considered closed boxes in which running everything as root user 
may be okay, but this is not always the case.

Thanks,
Timothy
