Unlike the root user, I don't think there's anything special about the
group ID of group `root'.  IOW, the kernel places no special
significance on GID 0.  So the chown can't change from root:root to
root:0 because group root isn't necessarily GID 0.  That leaves ensuring
a group called root exists.  I think the issue of why some installations
have a group called root and others don't is worthy of a separate, non-
xorg, bug.
