It has been pointed out before but any tool that requires a password for
a desktop functionality is broken. We should divide by functionality.
Not by whether it requires a root password or not
Can you give some examples? I am trying to figure out which tools this
would apply to. I don't recall getting password prompted for anything
which *wasn't* a global system setting change that would affect other
users on a managed system.
