What if there isn't one? If a particular user is needed and that information is available at "make install" time, why not chown + suid the binary (or use a tiny helper in case of scripts). Also, would you trust a .desktop file that is owned by a regular user and includes Name=cherry.jpg and ExecuteAs=root? -- Patryk Zawadzki _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
