            Bug ID: 369519
           Summary: Show a warning when run from a privileged account
           Product: kleopatra
           Version: git master
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: aheinecke at intevation.de

It is discouraged to run Kleopatra "as Administrator" on Windows or as Root on
Linux. There are possibilities for privilege escalation this way.

Additionally it creates problems if Keyrings / Files from GnuPG are created as
Administrator as under Windows this will use the same homedir as for the normal
user and so the user will need to run gpg / kleo always as Administrator or run
into unexpected problems.

So there should be a warning with the possibility to cancel if run from a
privileged account.

Reproducible: Always
