[vlc] wxvlc, gtk, suid and real-time priority

[Vincent Lönngren]

Hi!

I'm using wxvlc, and there is an option to allow vlc to run at real-time
priority, which sounds very nice. It requires vlc to be run as root, of
course. The problem is that if I chmod +s /usr/bin/vlc, vlc won't start,
complaining that:

vincent at localhost:~$ vlc
VLC media player 0.8.4-test2 Janus

(process:4486): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid
or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

    http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html

Refusing to initialize GTK+.
vincent at localhost:~$

Is there an easy way around this?
