Summary: Can't edit action files or toggle privoxy

Initial Comment:
I've installed the Debian package of Privoxy 3.0.3 and
generally use KDE+Mozilla.  I naturally installed as
root since it installled to /etc.  Maybe I missed
something in the documentation but surfing as a regular
user I can't toggle Privoxy off or edit action/filter
files.  The error is "Privoxy Configuration access
denied" because it was "disabled by the Privoxy
administrator" when I didn't.

This is addressed somewhere (not sure which doc though).
Some of the files in /etc/ and maybe /var/log have to
writable by whoever the user is that is running the privoxy
process. Some of those files have to be written to and if
root/group permissions are wrong, you get this error. I
think that's where you need to be looking anyway.
