There have been reports from people who want to run VDR as user 'root' and have trouble with access rights when using "-u root".

The attached patch simply skips all the SetCaps() and SetUser() stuff when VDR is started as 'root' and the option "-u root" has been given. This should then behave just like older versions.

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for the patch. It solves my problem with the text2skin-plugin, that was not able to load a lot of the channel logos or needed fonts if they were accessed via a symlink.
