Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed

Bug description:
First, why I launched this in root ? Because I needed it. I had done some experiments with file permissions (To see how gtg would react), and finally launched this in root.

 It just changed my /tmp permissions. 

 This is a big issue because in GNOME this make it impossible to login in graphical mode. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with error status 256).

 I know they arn't any reasons a normal dev would launch this in sth else than normal user, but there's also no problem to don't accept root execution.

 I'll try to add a patch, but I'm not very good in bash.
