However, I can't find any examples of usage and attempting to follow the infopages has led to a bunch of different errors and failures (and rather useless error messages). I currently don't have any useful logs of what I tried and the output (it was on a LiveUSB I'm using for testing purposes), but I'm not wanting to use %desktop-services (or other service packs, for that matter), which has already been suggested. Can someone either A) improve the documents for setuid programs (and gexps) with some practical examples, or B) provide me with a (hopefully working) snippet to add to the config? Either would work for me, though the previous option is clearly the better of the two.
