Subject: [PATCH] allow root

Fix for: Bug 15155994 - SUNBT4849641 xscreensaver won't run as root

Let root lock the screen, but don't launch the hacks for root.

Rejected by upstream because upstream author argues instead that users should

not login as root, which is correct, but not something we can force all of

our customers to stop doing.

See http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#root-lock for his side.
