The Old way (give the xcdroast binary the set-user-ID-on-execution bit), would not work with gtk after 1.2.8. Maybye it's an security problem (for example, when root put's an user into the cdwrite group). Is it better to disable the "non-root" mode in the default installation of these port (don't change rights), and create a Makefile-target like "enable-nonroot" which must be called manually.
