Bug Description
We should let EasyUbuntu run as user, and disable the OK button until the user gives permission to install software using EasyUbuntu. This is good for the following reasons:
* (this is a entirely unlikely case, although it can happen!) If someone gives a user a link to his own modifided version of EasyUbuntu which contains "malicious code", the code cannot damage the entire system, only the user's home directory and all files/directories which the user owns.
* we can explain to the user why they need to give permission to install software
* not very user friendly to see a dialog pop up at them on every start up of EasyUbuntu
