Hi.  I'd like to use the gnome-scores module to save scores in a game I'm
writing in Python.  Gnome scores expects the application to be installed as
root with the setgid bit set.  I have a couple of questions about this:

1) What are the security implications of installing a Python script with the
setgid bit set?  A google search on the subject found a lot of articles
advising against installing scripts with the setuid bit set, but did not say
anything about the setgid bit specifically.

2) How do you test code using gnome-scores without installing the program or
running it as root?

Cheers,
            Nat.
