"There's a bunch of options, ranging from "mark everything setuid and owned by root" (the least efficient, but you could do it in a few lines of shell script)" Oh dear, you got modded up, what a surprise. So please share some more details on what exactly you are doing that makes a UAC prompt appear every time you move the mouse, and which of the many millions of programs on the PC actually require administrator to run? What you're saying I haven't experienced since maybe 2-3 months after Vista was released.
