Never have any GUI programs (ie those linked against any of the X11 libraries) suid root. These libraries are too complex and your chance of running a security hole goes through the roof. I don't know anything about kppp (other than that I don't need it), but is there any other program in your distro which can kickstart the dialling? Alternatively, set up demand dialling, the combination of wvdial and pppd is quite good for that.
