I guess that what we could do is provide a --with flag when we build the next release of VLC, that would make it somewhat easier to rebuild the package that way. But I agree, 99.999% of users shouldn't run VLC as root for good reason, and this feature helps protecting them (of themselves, arguably). cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[email protected]> <[email protected]> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane.
