[Bug 334208] [NEW] Firestarter requires root permissions but doesn't prompt

[semenko]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firestarter

On Jaunty, when clicking the menu icon to run firestarter, the program
never runs. The mouse spins and a taskbar item appears of "Starting
Firestarter ..." but then disappears, and the program never opens.

If executed as non-root from the command line (instead of the menu) it
correctly prompts: "Insufficient Privileges ..." If executed as root
from the command line, it runs fine.

# apt-cache policy firestarter
firestarter:
  Installed: 1.0.3-7ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.0.3-7ubuntu1
