[PD] GRIPD won't run.

Thank you for this pointer, Josef. I misunderstood the README. But now
I've got another problem, when starting gripd:

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+.

This known behaviour of Gtk occurs because I have Pd installed suid
root to gain the best performance in realtime operation. I could
remove the suid bit, then gripd would run, but this could be bad for
Pd performance, and I don't want to do this. Does anyone have an idea
for a workaround or would this require changes to Pd itself?

ciao
