BTW, I think this check is completely bogus and I think we should patch 
Akonadi to just work as root.

The justification given is completely bullshit since MySQL does NOT listen 
on a TCP/IP port (only on a local Unix socket accessible only to root) when 
configured the way Akonadi configures it. So you're NOT running an Internet-
facing application as root. And it's easy for Akonadi to make it just work, 
just put user=root into the config file if run as root.
