running speech-dispatcher-0.7.1 in system mode

[William Hubbs]

All,

this message is mainly going to packagers, but anyone who has any
suggestions should feel free to reply.

On gentoo, the earlier versions of speech-dispatcher could be run easily
as root so that they could be used system wide.  However, the current
release does not support doing this by default.

This thread is not about discussing the merrits or lack there of for
running speech-dispatcher as root; that is a whole different topic.
What I am interested in finding out is what other packagers are doing
about this issue.  Did you have speech-dispatcher in its earlier
versions set up to run as root?  What are you doing with this new
version?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

William
