This will not work, because only *you* and *root* can use X session at
the same time.
Starting klik as other user from my user's KDE session will fail,
because X will be unavailable.

It will work if the klik user will have totally separate X/KDE
session, however this is inconvenient.

I think we can use AppArmor on SUSE for now - as an extra feature for
that distro.
That won't damage klik for other distros but will improve klik on
SUSE. As far as I know, There is no way to do this on other distros.
