Bite the bullet and make kcheckpass setuid root by default so the lock
and screensaver functions work by default (i.e. they let you back in if
you type the right password). This will also avoid the caveat that quite
often people install KDE using the metaport and usually leave it runnning
and by the time it's done, the not-so-helpful message is long gone.
Usability police: ~20 emails from users...
Won't mind releasing a security advisory for this if needed: kris
