Thanks for the submission, @darkwater. I'm not inclined to accept this. Where I have explained why Imager behaves in this manner, the primary point is that failing early is better than failing later. Simply adding a way to circumvent the early failure, but without engaging the later failure, is not likely to result in a net confusion reduction. If anything, I could see an enterprising repackager put this flag into their .desktop file, and then create untold confusion in their user base. To run without root, the application must be fractured into privileged and unprivileged parts. |

Closes #1354
An additional "continue anyway" button in the dialog might be nice too, but at least this now provides the possibility of running it without root.
