Package: kvpnc
Version: 0.9.6a-2.1
Severity: normal

kvpnc must be run as root, it evebn asks for the *root* password, not a sudoer password.

After that being run as root it messes up root environment storing
everything in it. Short it means that it is unusable for a user
without root rights and it mixes all users settings in root directory.

More cosmetic it does not use the user's KDE settings but root's (who
should never start a graphical session).
