bypassing password for sudo makes sense when it is limited by which
commands can be run - obviously an administrator's call.

running gtkpod as root makes no sense whatsoever...you want it to run
with user privileges, save settings in users directory, mount as user
and unmount as user and it also interacts with gnome which obviously is
a user environment.
