I have to go along with this. A startup screen with CD-Roast says that it has to run under root.
$ sux # xcdroast & will cure that for you. Unless you want to do what it suggests, and set the xcdroast binaries suid.
I must also confess that I am lazy and don't like switching so I would prefer to just stay in root.
