Hmm. You mean we need two binaries to do this? What are the disadvantages 
when we do everything in one binary? Or do we have to run the wrapper all the 
time so support these service menus?

I still prefer the current handling of root operation. The most time KreateCD 
runs as the user which has started KreateCD. Only when we need access to the 
CD burner we regain root access. We don't need DCOP when we are in "root 
mode" so I don't know whether there is any problem.
