[Bug 871446] [NEW] usb-creator-gtk crashes on 11.10-rc isos when run as root

[Darko Veberic]

Public bug reported:

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

** Affects: usb-creator (Ubuntu)
