Package: system-tools-backends Version: 2.2.1-4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
It would be nice to avoid running as root; I don't know why exactly STB runs as root, but it could perhaps lower its privileges after startup. For example reading system information is a task which can probably be done with less privileges.
