             Bug #: 7912
           Summary: xfce4-taskmanager run as root could display all users
                    processes by default
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Xfce-utils
           Version: Unspecified
          Platform: PC (x86)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: abdawson at gmail.com


Brief Description
=================
xfce4-taskmanager run as root could display all users processes by default

Stand & Build Details
=====================
EEE901
Xubuntu 11.04

Test Details
============
Run xfce4-taskmanager as root and change the priority of a running process
belonging to your user.

Expected Results
================
Can see it and adjust it's properties as I new have the required privileges.

Actual Results
==============
The task manager detects we are root as there is now a red bar, but the process
list is still restricted to just the current user "root". As a result I can't
see my solitaire game to increase its priority!

Timeline
========
n/a

Analysis
========
Would be nice if the warning about being root came with some more suitable
defaults too.
