xman used to work fine until i screwed something up and now i have to
run xman as root to make it work.  i'm guessing that xman needs to write
the formatted output to some directory i've locked myself out of.  does
anyone know where i should start looking?  can't i make xman execute as
root no matter who runs it?  i'm not concerned with security on this
system.

thanks!
