Title:
  usb-creator-gtk crashes on 11.10-rc isos when run as root

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  when usb-creator-gtk is run as root (with "sux -" in order to avoid
  all the annoying password request for policy violations) the latest
  ubuntu 11.10-rc isos all fail at the end with segmentation fault.

  running as normal user works (but asks for password 2 times)...

  tested on: 10.10 and 11.04
  usb-creator-gtk versions: 0.2.25.3 and 0.2.28.3
