Erm, yes and our mantra is upstream, and most of these apps are
portable
(using SDL + SDL_ttf for example), how am I going to get this upstream,
We can carry patches for distro integration, and IMHO this is such a patch.
Several game packages have patches to support setgid privilege dropping, I
don't see why this would be handled differently, especially if it's only as
short as the snippet Bill Nottingham posted.
Really this is not a problem of the apps, people should stop thinking
about this as being a problem of the apps, there are just too many apps
doing this, this should be fixed centrally.
That's what fontconfig is doing.
