Well, my feeling was that kpackage works fine here as a normal user.
It MAY ask me for my password if I want it to do something that only
ROOT can do (at least that's what the Mandrake update program does)
however, I never need to run "xhost +localhost" for kpackage. I don't
know about linuxconf as I've never tried to run it under X.
