GTK is not save to run as suid exectutable. One way is to write a daemon running as root and monitoring /proc/acpi/events. The daemon is accessable by an IPC mechanism: Unix/Network Socket, Shared memory, whatever. The GUI is started by the user with user privileges and connect to the daemon. > Btw. for me it's also strange, still more a problem, to pop up a window > on a Display not owned by myself. > > It may be done by getting the ownder of the display, and merging the > .Xauthority (keys ever new produced by gdm - why!?), if arrangeable to > read. With the solution mentioned above, there is no such magic required.
