Why exactly xfstt requires write access when it is invoked with --daemon
option and does not when without ? I don't see any reason to write unless
we do --sync. 
Moreover, it should not quit when the write fails (again, unless ussued
--sync option).

May be you'd better correct that and leave database in place (/usr/share).
