GtkPBButtons is designed to start as normal user and should be used in
that way. If you run it as root you need to weaken X's security
mechanisms to allow root to open the popups on user's screen. My X11
configuration doesn't allow this by default.
I don't know if multiple users use the machine you talked about or if
you are the only one, but a second point is that each user might want to
configure GtkPBButtons for his or her own needs.

I haven't used it that way yet, but there are enough hints in the mailinglist
so you should get it it work. You need to authorize root to open windows
on every users display. Please ask a X11 expert how to do this. I always
give temporarely permission with the xhost command when needed.

see above, No patch needed. You need the development files of libgnomeui
and releated.
