Hi All,

 Have anyone ever seen this?  How does one create a "helper"
program to get the x program cdroast to run?

GTK+WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+.  You must create a helper
program instead.  For further details see:  
        http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

Refusing to intialize GTK+

I went there and looked and just saw a rather snotty page with no info
on how to do this "helper"  thing.  Any ideas?

I am using Mandrake 8 and have added the rpm
xcdroast-0.98alpha8-1.i586.mandrake72.rpm.  The above warning get
displayed when ran as "root" user or any other ordinary user.

Thanks in advance for any help received.

Phil
