No fscking way! :)
root is only needed for administration, and abiword does not require
root for anything at all.
The need of user root for doing anything is a misconception which in the
utter limit would draw unix user/group/others permissions to a level of
security the like of which could only be seen on Macs and on Windows Up
To Me
I think that there is a bug in the rpm spec about that, I'll look into
it.
Thanks for all your input Martin :)
