fwiw, both the dbus-uuidgen and run-standalone.sh approaches result in
an execution where osso_initialize returns null.

so actually "su -" works. It even makes the gps icon appear properly
in the system tray after it's powered up. I'll have to replicate that
programatically since a simple seteuid() obviously doesn't cut it and
I need some root behavior in early execution. Maybe it's something in
the environment.
