I'm just wondering if this is anything I should be concerned about? I found this in my .xsession-errors file
(process:5187): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper

Everything seems fine though.:confused:

You have process numbers. What are those processes?

It's only an issue if the ownership of a process creates a security issue that is plugged by changing the user ID using setuid.

I've never seen those messages in either Feisty or Dapper.

Yeah, I never saw those in Feisty. I checked my other Feisty box and those weren't there. But I checked another box with a fresh install of Xubuntu Gutsy and those errors were there too. Strange thing is, those processes don't exist.
