[debian] Re: Normal (non-root) user as default?

[Bram Neijt]

After having midori tell me I was running as root and that was bad, I
decided to give it a try. I followed the instructions on the openmoko
wiki, and now x starts, zhone starts but it seems like I'm not allowed
to do anything with dbus or contact the frameworkd.

My groups are:
bram dialout floppy sudo audio video staff games messagebus

I'm using the xglamo driver, and chmod u+s that already. Zhone seems to
be stuck with no dbus and the openmoko panel applet is also not showing
up. Any tips on getting around this?
