Thousands and thousands of times in a row, in fact :-).

I'm still waiting for someone to point me to the web page
documenting the actual case histories of horrible
things that happened because a GUI app was running
as root. (NOT the cases where people did stupid things
in GUIs, I want the one that describes people doing
perfectly normal safe operations who had horrible
things go wrong simply because they were running
a gui as root).
