That is simply a bug. I gave David a fix for it; I hope he manages to

root (local X) can not edit the policies
a tool for sysadmins but root can not use it ?
What is the problem with using it as root (apart from the aforementioned

one more tool for a sysadmin to check and to manage ?
How much checking and managing you want to do depends on your personal
