With latest git master I get the following message at startup:
"Enlightenment cannot successfully start the enlightenment_system service since it can't become group root. Missing setuid bit?"

Well, build and installation was performed as root and the enlightenment_system binary was installed in $PREFIX/lib/X86_64-linux-gnu/enlightenment/utils, where all binaries is owned by root:root and have 755 permissions. Shouldn't this be enough? If not, how should it be? And who is responsible for that?

Also, since it complains about being unable to become *group* root, shouldn't the message say that the missing one is the setgid bit and not setuid?
