man of tracepath mentions that in contrast with traceroute it does NOT require
root privilegies. Probably at some point in time it was true, but
currently i use
traceroute without root privilegies.
The patch was introduced by Dan Holbach on Mon, 12 Jun 2006 15:17:53 +0200
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+changelog
Dan mentions distro decision about tracepath but google says nothing
about why tracepath
was chosen. And tracepath is broken currently. At least 2 releases
Natty and Oneiric.
